At the Cabin


We had this crazy idea to go and spend a night at Shelley's cabin. We thought it would be great fun! So we packed up the van and drove to Fairview. We pulled in around 6pm. We unpacked the van and settled in. The boys played trucks and tractors in the dirt. Shelley and I scrapped while Kelly and Trent sat around trying to relax. It started to get late and so we thought it might be a good idea to try and put the kids to bed. This idea turned out to be disastrous! Landon and Carter did NOT think this was a great idea. They have never slept in a real bed and thought it would be better to jump on it, than to sleep in it. After an hour or so of fruitless efforts, we decided to drive them around in the van to get them to sleep. We ended up clear down at the Chevron (which is quite a ways away). By the time we got back to the cabin, both boys had fallen asleep. However as soon as we got out of the car Carter woke up again. Carter ended up falling asleep with me on one bed and Landon slept with Kelly on the other bed. After about an hour of us all finally getting to sleep, Landon woke up freaking out. Poor Kelly eventually had to take him outside and swing him to sleep on the log swing. Needless to say, it was a long night. That next morning when we woke up, Landon had at some point gotten off the bed and fallen asleep on the floor... at least that's what we are assuming. No one heard a loud thump, so we don't think he fell off the bed. All and all we had a great time. We were only there one night, which was more than enough. Next time we go, I'll make sure to take the pack-n-plays. Thanks for inviting us, we loved our time there!
