4th of July weekend was spent up at the Cabin. Meredith spent her first night away from BOTH mom and dad. Grandma Schwake took her up to the cabin on Friday night and Greg and I followed suit on Saturday. Usually when we go to the cabin, we just take day trips. The cabin isn't exactly 'luxury' or 'modern' nor does it offer a lot of space when there are 10 other people there. But it is a great spot on the lake! I decided that it would be a great idea to set up a tent and stay overnight. In theory this would have been a great idea but the wind was blowing at hurricane strength and all we could hear all night long was the tent flapping in the wind. Then it started to rain and one of the walls kept blowing down. So at about 3:30 a.m. (no sleep at this point) we decided to vacate the tent and head inside. Greg slept on an air mattress on the floor and I slept on a couch that was far too small. I think I got about 1.5 hours of sleep that night.
But we had fun and it was great to see my family, cousins, aunts, and uncles. And Meredith had a blast.
Robin got a new toy that they took out on the choppy water. We decided to take Mer out the next day when it wasn't so windy.
Mer played a bit in the water. See those waves?
This is what happens when I'm in charge of making sure no one cheats during a breath holding contest. Notice how one is in the water and one is out of the water???
Mer started having a meltdown at about 3:00 p.m. She fell asleep and took a nap!
Mer was fascinated with the dog leash. She spent a good part of the day insisting that it be tied around her waist and she ran around like a dog. Here she was actually walking the dog.
