Last day at the cabin

Not too much to say about this day.  I'm happy that we got a picture of all of us together...look how good the dogs are!!!

Cabin vacation - Day 4

Our 4th day at the cabin happened to be Father's Day, so Izzy gave Joacim his gift right away, and a big hug.  Pretty nice way to start the day, don't you think?  :)

more attempts at fishing

It was a warm day, and eventually I succumbed to the heat and headed into the water.

Izzy had fun collecting rocks

Another nap

And a little rainshower during dinner helped to cool things off a bit

We had another fire this night...Joacim whittled a point on a stick so we could roast some marshmallows

Our friends....

I just needed to display the most perfect toasted marshmallow....ever.

and after we were done roasting marshmallows, Izzy decided to be a sword-fighter

and we had a little toad friend

Cabin vacation - Day 3

I realize that I've only shown a few photos of the cottage itself.  Upstairs, there was a double bed, as well as 4 extra-long bunk beds built into the wall...very Scandinavian style...

Izzy....curled up in a little ball sleeping

cute kitchen

 bright and early in the morning they were out fishing

and I was enjoying my delicious breakfast

Joacim....still fishing

but he finally caught one...a carp no less, but it's still a fish

I love that she's not afraid, and was ready to take out the hook

Izzy was doing some rock throwing, enjoying the sounds and splashes

gawd...she's so damn cute

and so is this little guy

a man...and his grill

we had to make fun of Joacim because he's ALWAYS harping on Izzy to wash her hands before dinner...looks like he could stand a dose of his own advice :)

AAAAAND more fishing (I think he's getting desperate at this point)

We finally built our first fire this night

The fire didn't last too long though, because I remembered that we had these lanterns.  I had bought these for Izzy for her birthday (very "Tangled"-ish), and this particular night was the calmest (wind-wise) that we had.

can I just mention that these things are nearly impossible to light in an easy manner????

but they sure do look pretty floating away....

Izzy was very happy, and ate a granola bar to celebrate (I'm pretty sure she had at least 20 of these over the 5 days we were there)

and Rosie enjoyed a little snuggle....

and I enjoyed some cankles..... :(
