Patrick's sister & her husband rented this house right outside Nevada City for us to stay in together. It was the perfect size for our family. It had 7 bedrooms. Each bedroom had a name, and was decorated to match it's name.
Patrick & I stayed in the bird room.
Savannah and her cousin Maggie stayed in the Forest room.
I didn't take any pictures of the other rooms, but they were all lovely.
We spent time hanging out, playing games, eating, and hiking. There was also a pool table, dart board, volleyball court, and Frisbee golf to keep everyone busy.
On our very first hike down to the waterfalls. I lost my footing, and slipped into a nice deep pond. Lost my camera. Well, we found it, but it was broken. So, I don't have a ton of pictures of our time here.
Seeing this table filled to capacity every night was cool. It was fun to sit down and eat dinner together as a family.
One day we all tie-dyed shirts. Before we left we did family pictures in our shirts in front of the house.
All the cute cousins!
One of the first days the boys accidently shot an arrow into the tree and it stuck. They decided to throw a football into the tree to get it, it also got stuck!
It took several days and many attempts trying to get it out of the tree. We assigned the task to Trevor and Robert. The oldest cousins. The smartest. They could do this. No problem.
One day they were out there trying to get it out. The rest of us were inside looking out thru a huge picture window. It was hilarious the things they were trying. At one point Trevor came in and changed his shorts (he had been wearing basketball shorts). He put on a brand new pair of cargo shorts. They hooked a rope to Trevor's shorts, and I think he was going to get pulled up into the tree by Robert. Well, Trevor started getting a really bad wedgie. All of this is happening with us watching from the window. He's hanging in the tree, in pain, and we can't stop laughing. I guess it was getting unbearable because he unhooked himself, and as he dropped to the ground his shorts tore all up. The only part of the shorts left was the crotch section. I wished we would have recorded it. Hilarious!
He has kept the shorts as a memory, so he can show people.
I'll add a pic soon.
We had a great time chillin with the family at the "Cabin"
