uncle scott's cabin has become a tradition to the withers and woods families. We SO look forward to spending time with the family on Diamond Lake, and we try to vacation around the 4th of July each year. We wanted so badly to be at the cabin over the fourth this year, that we actually made our "reservations" (aka- asking Uncle Scott and Auntie Lisa) over Christmas break. We love "getting away" and enjoying God's country. Here are lots of photos from our enjoyable vacation on Diamond Lake.
tradition #1: zorbaz's for pizza
bike trip
(first year that everyone was on their own bike - even sophia!)
stop and smell blow the dandelions - they were huge!
tradition #2: putting christmas lights in the fire
(can you see the circular wires in the middle of the fire?)
the lights create a beautiful show of colors in the flames!
new this year - an electric paddle boat
tradition #3: swimming in diamond lake
tradition #4: yard games (sophia giving the bean bags a go!)
new this year - yard yahtzee (made by my talented father!)
the way i played, i think this will become a tradition!
tradition #5: tubing (too bad the tube got a hole in it, and we weren't able to go back on it!)
tradition #6: snacks by the campfire...i tried a new recipe this year. we placed yummy treats inside of a sugar cone and toasted them over the fire.
nothing beats smores by the fire!
a morning scavenger hunt - each "kid" had a plate with all the letters of the alphabet on it. They each had to find something that started with that letter before we made it back to the cabin.
Fun activity for all!
tradition #7: go carts and arcade at the big kahuna in spicer
livia's first time driving alone!
a few fun activities at the lake:
bunch o' balloons (the best invention EVER!)
her royal highness!
4th of july fun!
In the words of Sophia, "Can we come back every year?"
