Cabin with Friends



Our dear friends, Trent and Daidre, invited us up to the cabin for a weekend retreat. What an amazing cabin! We so enjoyed hanging out with them up in the mountains---absolutely beautiful scenery with the fall colors, pines, and lake. The kids ran wild (just the way it should be on such a retreat.) Between the two couples there are 10 kids. How fun is that? Here is most of the crew saddling up to the bar for dinner. Daidreann did an awesome job cooking for all of us. Thanks. What a beautiful kitchen to cook in too!
Alyssa enjoying breakfast with a view. The three youngest from the two clans enjoy their waffles with their dads.
I had no problem relaxing under these lights---wow!
Here are the seven oldest together outside. We've been friends since our oldest ones were babies (technically even before that.) Anyway it has been so great watching this gang grow.
