Camping in a Cabin



Memorial Weekend has become an annual gathering time for family.  This year was a special time as my dad's sister, Katherine, from Arizona was able to make her first visit to our property.  We'd hoped to have the cabins completed for this weekend, but still got to camp out in the guest cabin.  Mike made great efforts to have things as ready as possible.  We were feeling the luxury...running hot water and a "water potty" as our 2 year old nephew cheerfully exclaimed (that was after concern about using the composting toilets we've used for years at Dad's barn).  We slept on the floor, used camp chairs, and had the most wonderful time.  Jeff and Lynne organized a huge group photo on the porch in honor of Daddy's 80th birthday!  A surprise guest even arrived:  our son drove 12+ hours to celebrate with us.  Mark and I were thrilled to have most of our family members (his and mine) to share in our first sleep-over in the Hamilton Cabin.
