MCP Project 52 ~ Week 32

Week 32 Theme ~ Favorite Time Of Day

During last week’s vacation to a rental cabin in Hayward, the four of us spent time doing things as a family that didn’t involve electronics or driving anywhere. We didn’t have our regular busy schedules filled with work, meetings, practices, games and appointments. After our long, lazy days enjoyed outside at the lake, we spent our evenings playing board games and cards. Although the whole day was wonderful and relaxing, I loved the quiet evenings just hanging out as a family. This picture is of Mike and Sebastian having a quiet moment together as they played chess by the dim light from the window.

Staycation, Part III

More boating, beach time, tubing, toad hunting, fireworks and a thunderstorm finished up our time at the cabin.

Dark clouds were in the distance when we took the pontoon down the lake to watch the fireworks. While we were waiting for the show to begin, heat lightning started to light the sky. The heat lightning became more intense, the fireworks started and despite the great display, we realized that we needed to head back to the cabin. In the dark, with lightning flashing to help light our way, Tom drove the pontoon safely, but quickly, back to the cabin. While I took the kids inside, Mike and his parents got the pontoon under the boat cover, put all of the beach items away and made it into the cabin just before the downpour began.
