The Cabin

Growing up my family spent our summer vacations camping around the northwest.  Chad grew up spending his summers at The Cabin.  The past 15 years (Wow!  I can't believe it's been that long.), we have spent summer vacation time out at The Cabin.  The Cabin is this peaceful little get away on the Spokane River out of Post Falls, Idaho.  I've come to love the time that we get to spend there...because it is so peaceful and fun. 

The Cabin has inspired this post because we have a little tradition of spending the 4th of July at The Cabin.  Our Cabin time is usually spent doing a variety of activities...jet skiing, boating, swimming, kayaking, drinking, playing horse shoes, archery, sitting around the camp fire, playing cards/board games, reading, non-stop eating...basically continuous fun.  This 4th of July felt a little different, calmer perhaps, if that's possible.  Perhaps the fact that the water was cold and the outside temp barely peaked 60 degrees had an effect on our cabin activities this year.  Nonetheless, The Cabin is something that I didn't grow up having or spending "vacation" time there, but I'm thankful that I have this peaceful place to look forward to every summer and especially the 4th of July. 

Thanks Bob and Sonja for a peaceful place to come home to during the summer.
