A mix of photography, recipes, personal thoughts, faith, and lots of family stuff, but not necessarily in that order.

Closing, Part 1... but so much more!!!

Closing the cabin Part 1, doesn't just involve all work. 
It involves family, little ones, play and valuable time spent together making cabin memories.
The big projects that needed to get done were getting the boat lift and dock out 
which takes some time and strength so we called upon our 2 big strapin' boys men  :)

Lots of photos' in this one.... hope you enjoy 

First we need to talk about it

Brice and Gavin are such a  big help, they are the work horses, 
and they have lots of fun together.

It's fun to listen to them banter and goof off out in the lake 
Notice Gavin balancing a large wood plank on his chin, one of his many talents.


Rick is not going to let them have all the credit, 
I love watching my 3 guys work together.
...and they talk some more   

In between the work, there is much time for other things....
 I went along with youngest son Gavin over to the church-camp grounds to watch 
him throw disc (us old people called it Frisbee).  
Now it's called "Disc Golf" a very competitive game just like regular golf only with discs'
The bag on his back is full of different discs all for specific distances and throws.
This guy is good....it's fun to watch him.

I have to give props to my sweet DIL who willingly hangs with the littles 
while husband Brice helps his dad. 

She's a good mom, so patient and loving.  
I'm so glad she loves being at the cabin with us! 

 more talking going on.... this time 1 year old Lewin joins the chat.

 Scarlett loves being down at the lake whenever she is here.
Rain boots on, and in the lake.
She actually stayed pretty dry. 
We had a chilly weekend, but still enjoyed being outside.

I even had time for Lewin's 1 year photo shoot
 He is the best.... such a sweet little smiler, 
he cooperated well and we got a lot of great photo's

While Lewin and Scarlett's mommy & daddy went out for an anniversary breakfast 
we got to hang with the littles, here was my attempt at a selfie.
Uncle Gavin had to leave a day before everyone else, We missed him when he was gone.
He had some good bonding time with his niece and nephew.  

The morning sun before the dock & boat lift came out... 
It was so pretty seeing the fog coming off the lake 

 Did I mention we had to get the boat out too.... ha
I actually backed the trailer down the boat launch, I felt quite proud of myself.

All Hemmer babies have this photo taken with their dad's
It' goes way back to Rick's dad.


 Four birthday's in October....so we celebrated.
Rick, Jenny, Brice and Lewin.

The final closing is happening tomorrow, always a bitter-sweet day.

    1. That's exactly what I had written on my chalkboard in the cabin, "many hands make light work". It is work, but they seem to enjoy it, Yes....we are blessed in so many ways!
