It's not often that I get time away with my mom & sister. We traveled up to a friends cabin in Alabama for four days with all the kids in tow. And these were some of the highlights from our days together –
- Five kids - four girls & one boy
- Three adults
- One dog
- One cabin – The Reeve's Fishing Camp, "Where fishing is not so good & drinking is a hobby"
- One small lake
- Two boat rides
- Roughly ten dead animals hanging throughout the cabin including: deer, boar, raccoon, bobcat, black bear and fish
- Three waterfalls
- Dozen of tadpoles to catch in small puddles
- Two bumps on the head (both my niece, Erin's, incidents)
- One broken clay pot
- Six Band-Aids used for boo-boos
- Ten Yoo-hoos
- One snake under the kayak
- One bobcat (or some kind of large cat) being chase by a fox
- Three peach mojitos that were scraped from the kitchen counter
- Four bottles of wine to unwind in the evening
- One bottle of champagne for AM mimosas
- Zero fish caught by the kids
- Twelve Adirondack chairs
- One afternoon of rain
- Twenty-five blackberries picked
- One local art show in the tiny town of Mentone, AL
- Five sad kids when the trip was over
