Beaches N' Cabins

As far as I'm concerned, no summer is complete without a few visits to the cabin and the beach. Though I didn't hit up too many beaches this summer. I did check out a new spot call The Quarry's, in Waite Park. It's this body of water (pond like, minus the grossness of a pond) with HUGE cliffs that you can jump off of. The tallest cliff is about 30 ft. high.

We were babies at first:

We DID scream and we DID hold hands...during the jump. For the fall, we couldn't help but wail our limbs in the air. Boy was it a rush!

I followed suit, with far better form.

Ahh..and cabins! Having been out of the state and busy with farming during the summer. I REALLY looked forward to days at the cabin. And THAT is an understatement.

Swimming for me of course!

Fishing, of course, for others!

Before the sunsets, gotta get in one more cruise around the park on the golf cart! But if you head out just a few minutes too late...you drive into swarms of bugs

Causing this reaction:

Keeping your mouth closed is key!!

A night at the cabin won't be right without a campfire, roasting marshmallows and all!

Matt sure is a great campfire builder!!

After the fire dies down and the night still young, nothing better than a game (or two) of cards!

Neither of us willing to give up the pile.
I did relent.

Summer is great! The weather is perfect! Though it wouldn't be the same without a place to go to.

The Cabin.

The Trailer.

Up North.

The Lake.

Whatever it may be.....

There's nothing more relaxing than getting away for a few days!
