It is time again for our annual Mahoney State Park trip with the Scribner/Hardt family. It was a little tough trying to pack up again after we just unpacked everything but we managed to get out of the house. I took that Friday off from work (and worked the Tuesday before instead) and got us all packed up for the weekend. The weather looked great and the kids were happy to be out of school and going to spend some time with their cousins.
Tatze want to make sure we did not forget her
all packed up and on the road
On Friday afternoon we unpacked our car and got settled into the cabin. We were pleasantly surprised that our cabin had been remodeled from the last time we were there and it looked great. It had an extra murphy bed and a larger living and dinning area. While we were getting settled the kids played with their cousins and riding bikes.
bottle flipping is the new thing
We grilled our burgers over at Shawn and Carries cabin that night because they also had a nice new deck on their cabin. After dinner we took our annual walk to the tower. We originally were not going to take Tatze because she is too old to make it that far. But when we saw that Shawn and Carrie had a wagon to to Logan in we asked if she could sit in it on a blanket. She was fine when a child was in the wagon, but when they got out she was having none of it. She wanted out, even if it meant she was going to die. It was frustrating to say the least. She is one stubborn dog. But we did get to see another pug that looked just like Nase and they end of our cabin road. I loved on that little puppy a lot. We then met up at Grandma Jewel's cabin for some dessert and horsing around.

The next morning we had breakfast over at the Scribner grandparents cabin. Grandma Karen made pancakes, sausage, fruit and juice for all of us. We all just go over when we get and spend some time hanging out in their cabin. After breakfast we headed back to our cabin to figure out the game plan for the day. It wasn't going to be super warm and there was a chance of rain. The kids really wanted to swim since we missed out on it last year, so we decided it probably wouldn't be too busy so Chad took the kids to the pool. I had a headache and wasn't feeling the best so I stayed behind. Chad didn't take his phone so I don't have any pictures of the swimming. Then that night we grilled with the whole family. Everyone brings a side or dessert and meat to grill and we eat at grandma Jewels cabin. Then we played an intense game of Mafia with a lot of the family. Trae and his friend taught us all the rules and we ending up having a blast playing it. We played it well into the night. Some of the family broke off to make s'mores and sit by the fire. We headed to bed well after 10.

On Sunday morning we had a lazy breakfast and then sent the kids out to play while we started to pack up. After we get packed up, it has been a tradition for us to go to the marina to feed the fish and geese and then take a walk around the camp grounds. After that we headed home to unpack and enjoy the rest of the weekend.
