Sunriver Getaway


We are so lucky to be able to go over to Sunriver every so often to stay in my in-laws log cabin. Because Mike works most days and weekends from late Spring to early Fall, we very rarely get to do anything together as a family during this time. This was our first family vacation (away from home) this year, and we took a long, long weekend right outside of Sunriver. The weather was cool enough to have the woodstove going most of the time, and the cabin was ever so cozy.


We did lazy things, like putting together a 750 piece puzzle, taking naps, relaxing in the hot tub and reading books by the fire. We also did a couple of adventures, going to the Great Obsidian Flow and braving the very bumpy drive up to the Lava Cast Forest and hiking around. The boys love playing ping-pong in the big garage (this was usually my reading time).

As the kids get older, I have found that our lives get easier, in that we can go and do things and it will be more relaxing and less work. It was very hard to leave the cabin, especially since we know we probably won't be back until next Spring. We're already looking forward to it!

Sounds wonderful. This is something I look forward to not having babies for- a trip (whether day or not) where we don't have to worry about going back for naps or dealing with super cranky babies because of no nap.

I bet your kids loved it too. For some reason I'm not able comment on your craft/cook blog but I'm loving it. Keep the posts coming!

It's amazing how wonderful it is to totally get away from life. Glad you got to enjoy this time as a family!
