A little get-away to Pine Valley!

On Friday Night we headed up to Pine Valley with the William's to stay over at Joanna's parents cabin! We didn't get up there until 11:00 p.m. so we just unpacked our food and made the beds and crashed! Saturday morning we slept in a bit and then got up and made a yummy breakfast. Joanna made the pancakes, I did eggs and bacon, Nick made the O.J. and Jason watched Curious George with Coop. For lunch we made sandwiches and packed up a picnic to take somewhere and eat. We loaded up the stroller with the picnic basket, bag of chips, and a blanket...oh and Coop was in there too! :) We headed off to find a place. We got to the church there and thought that would be the perfect place. He had a nice shaded grassy area. Well, come to find out there is a sign on the fence that says NO PICNICKING! So, we ditched that idea and headed back to the cabin and set up our picnic there on the grass. It was yummy! After lunch I guess the guys were exhausted from our four blocks of walking so they went in the cabin and took a nap. Joanna, Coop, and me decided to go for a walk. We walked up to a friends cabin which was up this huge hill. They had this sweet Amish buggy there so we took pics. We got back to our cabin and the guys were still crashed so we hung out on the swing and watched Coop play outside. Nick and me played a game when he got up of... I don't know what it is called but you catch the ball in some yellow things.. and it was way fun! Dinner was getting close so we wrapped up our game of Phase 10 and made a deal with the guys that since we made breakfast and lunch they could do dinner. They did really good. They made chicken, corn on the cob, Au gratin potatoes and rolls. We were stuffed. After dinner we cleaned up and got ready to head back home. We were all way sad to leave because it was so nice to just get-away for a bit! Cooper had so much fun playing cars and just running around.

Thanks Jo for taking all the pictures ! :)
