First Trip to the Cabin

Ryan's parents have built a cozy little cabin in Church Hill (outside of Henderson in East Texas) on some land they owned. We all met out there together for the first time and it was the most wonderful weekend. So simple, laid back and very peaceful in our surroundings. Owen catching the first fish... The view from the back porch Brody and dad relaxing on the porch Findley and Ainsley hanging out with Grandaddy
A visit from Great Aunt Frances - so good to see her!! Great Cousing Ella, Great Aunt Frances and Brody ( Findley was still sleeping!) Trying out the hammock Grandmother and Findley on the porch Daddy and Ainsley headed to the fishing pond
Ainsley having a little chat with the fish before we threw them back Her first catch Uncle Owen got her the cutest little pink and yellow fishing pole. She was so proud to have her own!! Thank you Uncle Owen!! Uncle Owen's dog Beauty and Ainsley
Happy Father's Day! Ainsley really enjoyed the fishing. She wanted to touch the fish, learn about them and just hang out but most impressive to her were the decorative touches (lures) they were putting on the end of their line. Everything was quiet and then she would exclaim "ooooh, look at this cute one" - silver and white sparkly pom, pom type lure. Good times with Dad! It was a wonderful Father's Day weekend and we all got some great relaxation in!!! Ainsley loved exploring in the outdoors and the boys were just getting teased by the smells from the porch!!! Next summer I envision us having a wonderful time and then all in bed on Wednesday with Poison Ivy from head to toe as everyone will be on the move!!! Hope I'm not jinxing (sp) myself!! I see many wonderful family memories to come......Thank you Grandmother and Grandaddy!!!!!
