The Back to School party at my Grandma D's house was always a big deal growing up. All the cousins gathered for one last hurrah sleepover the week before school started. Since my kids have been school age, we have also done a Back to School party - though ours looks a little different than the ones I grew up with. This year we decided to take the kids to the cabin for an overnight weekend. It was such a wonderful time. It was the first time I've been "on vacation" with the kids where I actually had enough downtime to read a few chapters of a book and enjoy of glass of wine. The kids were relaxed and it was beautiful in the woods. We went for drives on the four wheelers and discovered some fascinating plants and animals. We ate delicious food, including a very special Back to School ice cream cake. They spent hours playing outside, creating their own games. Grandma and Grandpa joined us for dinner one of the nights and we just had an all around good time. This weekend at the cabin was the exactly the quiet refresh we needed before we kick off our school year. So grateful for the memories made with them!
