Starting Sauna

Another great long weekend at the cabin...

Took a cruise and went to dinner.

Love this Lake Vermilion map I got as a present for Gabe's birthday.

Painted and put up a magnetic board for the kids in their secret fort. The fort even has a light on a motion sensor now!

Here comes the wood for the sauna!

Should go without saying, but Blake REALLY likes the barge.

Working hard getting a rock base for the firepit area.

Rearranging rocks for our fire pit. A huge one rolled into the water. Woops.

Where the sauna will go.

Getting the sauna building site ready.

Not a good idea.

E & J gave us paneling from their basement they tore out. Here's J planing it down and we'll use it to panel the changing room of the sauna. Not a fun job.

This summer, Campbell has been spending a lot of time at Grammy & Papa John's cabin. Spending her days getting spoiled, playing with the dogs and doing art. She loves having sleepovers & cuddling with the dogs in bed. Below is a picture of Campbell chasing butterflies & a robot she made for Blake out of packing material from curtain rods that Grammy was installing. One day she spent a lot of time setting up a pulley system from the loft that dropped down treats to the dogs. Grammy loves to tell us all about how amazing Campbell is and all the smart things she did.....we agree!

  

Blake spends a lot of time with Nana & Papa on the weekends getting spoiled with attention and having a blast doing all sorts of fun things. When he's at the cabin with us, he does great keeping himself entertained so we can get work done. He plays with his toys, watches movies & 'helps' us, too. What a change from last summer when he needed almost constant attention. 

The kiddos sure are growing up!
