We went for a weekend trip at a cabin with friends of ours' on Easter. Miss Haana was ecstatic at the prospect of spending the weekend with her best friend. She had packed herself a special backpack full of play toys, coloring activities, special sparkle journal diary, pencil case with sharper and eraser and other small tid-bits.
Having answered the question "Are we there yet" more times than i can count, we reached the cabin. We hung around outside for a bit and were almost immediately greeted by the neighbor's friendly dog. We petted him, and he seemed glad to make new friends, although might have been a tad disappointed in us when he discovered we definitely had no cookies or treats on us.
Little girl Haana discovered a rustic, rusting see-saw in the yard too. She sat on one end. I obliged by sitting on the other end, which turned out to be not so gratifying- the little girl was too light compared to me. I got off. Miss Haana commanded me to place the dog of the other side of the see-saw. One look at her confirmed, she was not kidding. Friendly doggie wagged his tail nearby oblivious of his precarious position. She pestered me some more to place the friendly dog on the see-saw. I explained he might not appreciate that so much. She conceded. We got a ball out from the car trunk, to play fetch. We soon learnt, doggie's version of fetch was to run and grab the ball and then not let it go. I was playfully telling the doggie that's not how fetch works at all, when his parents called him back home.
Once the doggie went back home, we went indoors to discover the cabin. It had an amazing wrap around patio with a great views and rocking chairs. We were soaking in the views when our friends and little Haana's best buddy walked in. The next two days were a blur of eating, sipping tea, then eating, checking on kids, walks, another round of tea, did i mention eating- on repeat cycles.
Both the kids had a blast. At times drawing and coloring; and at other times running around screaming and giggling. And then, there was the video watching.
A weekend well spent!
