The cabin we stayed in were a group of cottages that my parents took us to as kids. So needless to say they were not top of the line, great ammenities etc, but it brought back memories and it was a good experience. The cottage itself wasn't bad I guess. I had trouble adjusting to the fact that it had a tv, but it didn't work even with the tv adapter thingy on it. It had a VCR, but the local grocery store only had DVD's. It wouldn't have been an issue, if it didn't get dark by 6pm. But we managed! It was a cozy cottage anyways!
We went to the Lakewood Zoo which just opened in 2008 and you could tell! There was not a lot of animals and Kamryn was not real interested. :-(
We took boat rides by the cabin, did a little grouse hunting with no success and took walks around the cottages.
That about summed up the weekend. We learned our lesson that I think Kamryn is still a little to small to just "relax" in a cabin with little to nothing to do besides play with boring toys that we brought from home. She did really well, but we were a bit bored as well. So we can't blame her. I'm not sure what I expected from the weekend, because I surely couldn't have expected to sit back and relax with a toddler! lol
But like I said it was great to spend time with my mom and dad and make more memories for Kamryn! Not a lost weekend by any means. And I don't mean for it to sound like I didn't have a good time, because anytime with family is a good time. Just now we know next time what to maybe do a little different. Learning experience!
Well anyways, while we were gone our kitchen and living room were being painted. Or I should say just kitchen and our ceilings. He didn't think he would be able to get to the living room until this coming week. And he was right. The kitchen and ceilings are done, but not the living room and hallways. It looks awesome!! I am really happy with the color choice. He said the ceilings were horrible with the popcorn on them and he kind of knew that, but he said they were worse then he thought! :-) Glad I didn't do it! So this weekend he is coming back to finish just in time for Kamryn's birthday party!
Speaking of which, grandma and papa Z took Kamryn to Build a Bear when we got back into Appleton and let her pick one out for her birthday. She picked out a horse since she loves horsies! We choose a name and her name is "Penny"! Kamryn was thrilled. They bought the horse two outfits as well. Thank you grandma and papa!!
Here are pictures from the weekend. I'm sure I will need to blogs for this so bear with me!
We leave for Mayville on Monday afternoon and stay till Thursday. So I'll probably have more pictures!
