Labor Day Weekend 2009!



THANK YOU MOM AND JAY FOR ANOTHER VERY SPECIAL WEEKEND!


Our annual trip up to Jay's cabin on Lake Pend O'Reille was great -- but definitly not the same without the Sandberg's. Scott, Lisa, Ryan, Noah, and Micah were missed so much by all of us. They just moved into their beautiful new house and really needed the long weekend to get organized and unpacked. We completely understood -- but we still missed them. We love our traditions, and it just wasn't the same without them. The girls had a fun time, but spoke often of wishing the "boys" were there.....

The weather wasn't so great -- we got a big rain storm that produced hail and thunder on Saturday afternoon. We happened to be up at Priest Lake visiting LaNae and John at their cabin. Just before the huge storm (that knocked out their electicity for 7 hours!), the girls had fun playing in the sand and with the hose that John had hooked up to warm water! Sofia even went in swimming, while Audriana opted for a leisurly canoe ride with Grandpa. We had a nice dinner with their family, then drove back down to Jay's cabin on Pend O'Reille lake (after the storm passed). Sunday and Monday were quite cold, so we filled some of our "indoor" time playing dominos. This was a great game for us because it was easy, fun, and even the girls could play. Audriana turned out to be an awesome player, and by the end of the weekend, little Sofia almost needed no help at all! Kristi said she could have stayed another day just to keep playing! It was a lot of fun. Here's a cute video of Sofia showing us that she can swim -- Priest Lake at John and LaNae's cabin on Cavanaugh Bay.......









It happened to be Cameron and Care Bear's birthday, so we helped the girls celebrate up at the cabin. Aunt Kristi even brought the Easy Bake Oven so she could bake a cake with the girls. She also brought a gift for the girls to open up for their bears. She's the best Aunt!
