I have all of August to catch up on and all the adventures we had! It was a busy fun month and I still can't believe it's September. Not cool.
For Dan's birthday weekend we decided to go hit up his Uncle and Aunt's Cabin. Dan's cousin Whitney and her kids were living there for the summer so it sounded like a blast! Boy oh boy was it ever a blast! Whitney's husband, Collin, and Tony and Sassa were all coming down for the weekend! It's always fun when everyone is there!
We got there Friday evening and the kids travelled so well! They always do when Paw Patrol is on. :) Parenting WIN!
Saturday morning we went to the Echo Lake Cafe for Breakfast. The food there is delicious! the boys loved it. We don't often take them out. It can be chaotic.
When we got back to the cabin we spent about an hour or so loading up the boats/seados, and everything we needed for the beach. Tycy and her kidlets were waiting for us already down by the water! They had showed up at 10:00 (while we were still eating breakfast!)
We got down to the water and boy oh boy did we start playing! Sand castles, swimming, jumping, boating to the swimming hole, more swimming, food and snacks constantly. That's about how it goes!

Once Tony and the Comin's finished their triathlon they came and joined us on the beach and we started the tubing!
definitely some good wipe outs.
We may have spent way to much time outside. By the time we got back to the cabin at 8:00pm I was so tired, had a headache and felt so nauseous. After feeding Max food I got him to bed and the rest is sort of a blur. Daniel handled the rest. He gave me Evan at some point and bless that little child he slept SO GOOD that night. So that Sunday Morning I felt better. Still tired but better. Sunday, definitely a day of rest at the cabin! We went to church with Tycy and her gang and than came back to the cabin, ate some leftovers and then slept. Brilliant.
Sunday evening we played some cards visited, ate dinner and watched the kids run wild. as always. Tony, Sassa, Whitney and Collin even got Daniel a cake. Because Sunday was his 28th birthday! Yay for them! I was going to bring stuff/buy stuff but with how wiped out I was Saturday Evening and even into Sunday I am so glad they bought one! It was a hit with everyone! Dan sure did love it too!

| It got hot that weekend! haha My car read it higher than it was but it sure felt like 40. It was wonderful! |
It was a early (ish) bedtime for us that night.
Monday we headed back to the beach in the morning and than around naptime we cleaned up, packed up and started our journey to Kalispell where we did some shopping (at costco where else) and then met up with my sister and family again for dinner at Hu Hot. SO YUMMY! We'll count that as Dan's special birthday dinner! It was fantastic!
We didn't leave till about 7pm for home. So it was a late drive but the kiddos did okay. And survived the transfer to their beds at home.
It was a fun weekend! and no one got sunburned so that was a win! YES! (oh wait... Dan did a little. but not major like he normally does! Still a win!)
What a weekend. I'm so grateful to family and the fun weekend we had! Such a blast! They are Awesome!
