Just What the Doctor Ordered


John returned home from the hospital last week with strict instructions to rest and take it easy. So we did just that and took a weekend trip up to Ashton, Idaho with friends for some cabin relaxation time away from reality. Some might say that 10 adults and 17 kids would not count as a relaxing weekend, but the cabin belonging to our friends' dad had many different places for the kids to play, so it wasn't nearly as bad as I had feared.

Like...

The toy room down in the basement off of the family room
and...

The Loft with wii adventures and many a movie to keep kids quiet (or at least attempted to anyway)

The large living room also turned into a dance area for the kids, but this meant they slept well at night because they were exhausted!

The cabin itself was absolutely beautiful. Thanks to our friends who let us stay with them!!




We also went out to see some falls nearby. It started out as nice weather, but mid-sight seeing, the clouds unleashed a snow dumping.


All in all, a very fun and very relaxing getaway for the weekend.

Very pretty waterfall! Glad you caught some R & R in there - amidst all the kiddos.

Looks like a great place. Glad JOhn is doing better.

Sounds like it was just what the doctor ordered--for everyone!

Hope the get-a-way was what was needed for a full recovery.
Love,
