We played games, spent the majority of our time down at the lake, ate way too much food, and had a great time with some of our friends.
This year, we were able to do another cabin trip with our friends, at a different friend's family's cabin.
Our activities included:
Taking a couple of walks/hikes
While not all of us participated in every single activity, we all had a lot of fun. We were able to do some exploring in the area, as well as check out some really cool places a short drive away.

Watching the fireworks
The place we were in had a really great fireworks show. For being such a small town, I was really impressed with their fireworks show. It blew our local show out of the water. And the biggest bonus was that it was within walking distance of the cabin, and we were able to stake out our viewing spot much earlier in the day. So we had great seats for the show.

Our whole group
Visiting a couple of breweries
We all went to the first one and a little over half our group went to the second one. The first one was really cool, as they had a lot of outdoor activities set up for people to participate in, including frisbee golf and corn hole. We packed a picnic lunch and enjoyed sampling some beer. I can't vouch for the second place, as I was not one of the ones that went there, but it sounded pretty fun from what I heard.

Playing corn hole
Playing lots of games
We brought all of our favorite games and really enjoyed playing all of them. I love having friends that like playing games, as I grew up playing a lot of games with my family. And of course, we had to bring up some video games as well.
Good ol' Super Smash Bros
BBQing/firepit time
We BBQed dinner every night, as the cabin didn't have air conditioning and we didn't want to make the place too warm. It worked out perfectly as every night cooled down so nicely, and it felt really good to be eating dinner outside together. Each couple/person took responsibility of either a dinner, breakfast food, or lunch food, and then everyone brought snacks and drinks. We had so much stuff to begin with, but I was pleasantly surprised with how much we actually went through by the time the trip was over.
Making s'mores with graham crackers and sugar cones
We tried really hard to go spend some time at a nearby lake but every spot was super crowded on the fourth. Next time, we will have to be prepared to be ready much earlier in the day to make that happen.
Some other highlights from the trip included:
Getting coffee with S.W. While some of the others were off doing a hike, she and I took her cute little man downtown to do some walking around. Unfortunately, we forgot about the parade happening, so instead we got a coffee at a local little place and enjoyed our time together there before heading back to the cabin.
Spending time with that little man. Oh man...he is just so much fun. Happy babies that smile all the time just melt my heart. And this little one decided to start crawling this weekend! Just such a joy to be around.
Having an epic dance party with glow sticks. This happened randomly and was so fun. We had some glow sticks and stuff to have fun with for the fireworks, but we forgot to take them down with us. So instead, on the 4th of July, we had a dance party in the cabin.
This was pre-dancing
Getting to know our friends better. It's crazy how much more you find out about people when you spend that much time with them. We had so much fun together and I really can't wait until our next trip!
Love these girls!
