Mountain Mama

Editor's Note:  This post was written last week, but the photos weren't uploaded in time...




Back to back weekends, we have traveled distances over 450 miles one way.  The week before, it was the 600+ miles to get back to my home of Iowa.  This past weekend, it was the 450+ miles to get back to E's childhood summer home to visit his family.  Of course, each drive had it's moments of screaming and crying, but surprisingly for both weekends, those episodes didn't last too long.

Cousins...




Dog pile on Aiden!



 We made it to the Catskill cabin without much incident.  Finn had her first McDonald's shake along the way. Let's just say that it ended with me trading E for his empty shake, otherwise my dear daughter would have wanted to finish the whole thing!  We were at the cabin by 8:30 on Friday evening and we left on Sunday around noon.  It was a short trip, but it was very sweet.  There was a lot of hard work and sweat (it was also 95+ degrees that entire weekend with no A/C), but there was also a lot of cousin time, eating, and photos.  It was a fantastic weekend!

Sheena was generous to us and gave us this great backpack.


Humidity curls...



 
 


 

 



Mairaid got a splinter and there had to be a Catskill surgery done...

We all scream for ICE CREAM!!!!


Finn got to meet two of her cousins and one aunt for the first time and was reintroduced to one cousin and one aunt.  It was also the first time that the entire family (sans one) was together since the Christmas that I was pregnant with Finorah.  This post is going to be photo-heavy as sometimes a photograph speaks a thousand words...
