My memory for today is going to my Grandpa & Grandma Leffue's cabin. My mom, Grandma & Aunt Cheryl would bring all of us kids up North to stay at the cabin and then our dads & Grandpa would come up for the weekend. I have so many wonderful memories of the cabin trips & now when ever I take my kiddos they get to hear all of them. We would go to Tonto Creek and play for hours in the water, fish & have picnics. I also loved going to Sheep's Crossing and having picnics.
We loved building forts, playing kick the can, playing on the swing, roasting marsh mellows, playing 'house' or 'store' in the old trailer & going for drives. I loved going on walks down to the little store and buying treats. Mom would always bribe us with candy!
At night we would have yummy dinners. Then it was a night of game playing my favorite! I remember playing Aggravation, Sorry, Uno and lots of fun card games. When I got a little bit older Paige, Stacey & I would get to sleep in the trailer. I remember feeling so old like we had our own house. We also re-decorated the kitchen in the cabin. That is when I learned how to wallpaper. It was so fun us girls got to pick out all the colors and cute decorations. That night we stayed up so late painting and singing silly songs! We were so proud when we were finished.
There was (it's been cut down now) an old stump in front of the cabin and every year we would get pictures of us kids sitting on it. I think I have a picture of Cody on the stump. The first picture is Bridget, Paige & I on the 'famous' stump!
Grandpa and Grandma always spent great quality time with each of us. Grandpa loved taking us out on the boat to go fishing & we always caught fish! I remember him showing us how to clean the fish once we were back to the cabin.
Grandma was always teaching us. She was always playing some kind of game and sneaking in MATH somehow. We read all the time but always got some yummy treat afterwards. I'm so grateful for all the love and time they spent with us. I could go on & on about all the fun trips they took me and my family on but I will save some for another Memory Lane Monday.
