Closing Up

Kids were so excited to see the first snow of the season at Nana & Papa's!

We picked up Jim & headed up to the cabin. Because the bedrooms/loft were all cleared out to do flooring, this is what the living room looks like. 

And these are our deluxe sleeping arrangements.

Loft looks so nice! Just need it sanded & sealed.

Random picture. How did I get Starbucks at the lake? 

Finished insulating and put down the floor. Started paneling the ceiling and walls. Fresh cedar smells so good!

 

Called in the chimney expert, Garet. 

  

  

Started working on sanding the floors. Think we're going to have to rent a big floor sander for the loft. This took forever by hand. I think I can still feel my hand vibrating.

Woke up to this on Sunday.....Mother Nature is telling us it's time to close up and head out!

   

   

Campbell had a fun weekend at Grammy & Papa's cabin. She wrote 'Obie' starting with each letter of the alphabet. And below that a picture of Peanut. She is OBSESSED with those dogs! 

  

Finished oiling the guest bedroom floor just as we were heading out. Love the rich color!

Goodbye for a while cabin! We sure enjoy visiting you! 

Grand total for the season: First weekend up April 7th/last weekend October 27th. Out of those 30 weekends, we were at the cabin 24!!!! We were home for only 6 weekends for the entire spring, summer & fall. Of those 6 weekends at home, Gabe had been traveling for work so wasn't even home the whole weekend. 

From home to the dock at the marina is 266 miles. 532 miles round trip. 12,768 miles. For a little reference, it's 2,776 miles from NY to LA. So that's like driving from coast to coast just over 4.5 times. Good thing we all enjoy each other's company so much!
