Off the Grid

This past weekend was dubbed "Off the Grid 2012", aka our annual trip to The Country Cabins in Hiawatha. (See last year's post here.) We were hardly off the grid, but it is so nice to get away for a couple of days and relax with friends, and kids really look forward to getting to spend a couple of days with their friends too.

It was really amazing that somehow we had gorgeous weather too. Highs in the upper 80's to low 90's instead of the 105 to 110 degree days that have become the norm here lately. We were able to spend a lot of time outside and even got to enjoy some yummy ice cream cake to celebrate Grace's birthday.

These guys are pretty serious when it comes to playing washers. They get right in there with the big boys and they mean business. Amazing how fast time flies, here in a little over a week we will have a 1st Grader and a Pre-schooler on our hands.

Here's wishing you time to slow down and get away from it all, even if only for a couple of days.
