camping: cabin edition

A few weekends ago we cashed in a groupon for a two-night stay at a nearby park (Bull Run Park...scene of the amazing Bluebells) in one of their rustic cabins. Our last cabin stay was incredibly cold at night so we were grateful for the heater. The cabin was small and cozy and had a mini fridge and a microwave. The only downside was walking down the street late at night by myself to get to the bathrooms. I was pretty good at freaking myself out. Aside from a few RVs parked in the distance, we were the only campers around which made it extra creepy.

There was an awesome playground right behind the cabin. It seemed to be adult size and was a little scary watching Elsa climb up certain parts. Luckily Oliver was too small to even get up anywhere. He just circled the playground searching for a way in.

We had a campfire Friday night and made s'mores. Saturday morning Ben cooked us a delicious pancake breakfast. It was a little chilly but we bundled up and enjoyed a fun hike. We ended up getting a little snow storm in the late afternoon and it was nice to watch the snow come down from inside our cozy cabin. The late night bathroom run that night wasn't as fun.

We spent the rest of our time reading, making Valentines, doing puzzles, playing games, eating, and watching movies.

I've been neglecting my big camera lately in favor of the smaller, more convenient iphone...

S'mores made with Petit Ecolier are dangerously delicious.
