We spend the weekend out at the cabin which is our latest weekend yet. We drove out Friday night after a really long week. There was a funeral, sick kids, me being sick and a lot of stress. On the way out, I stopped by Indigo! and bought Jordon a copy of The Cabin by Dale Mulfinger who also wrote Cabinology as an anniversary gift. We got in after dark and while Mark took Maggi for a walk, Oliver fell asleep on the sofa while we warmed up the cabin and hunkered down for the night.
On Saturday the plan was to head to Regina and then Moose Jaw for The Tunnels of Moose Jaw. The best laid plans were changed and instead of Moose Jaw, we took Oliver to Chuck E. Cheese for the first time. Actually it was Mark and my first time as well and he had a blast, mostly because Mark was such a great older brother with him. We did some running around in Regina where Jordon bought me a “W” Saskatchewan Roughriders keychain and Mark a “M” one. We also bought Oliver a rubberized LED flashlight so he can go out and explore Arlington Beach with Mark (Jordon bought Mark a new flashlight last week). By the time we were done, we headed back to the cabin for dinner and then coffee with Dennis & Wilda Camplin while Mark and Oliver tried out their new flashlights.
The weather was nice for being this late in the season and we didn’t even use all of the heaters we had up there. It was cool enough that Maggi spent both nights in the bed snuggled up to Jordon who several times tried to get her down. All of Maggi’s affection is linked to the temperature. In the summer she doesn’t care if we live or die but as summer turns to fall and hot nights turn to cool ones, she becomes your best friend again. While Oliver never sleeps in our bed at home, he got uncovered and dove into bed. Four in the bed was a little much for Jordon or I.
This morning we got up early and started to pack up for the return trip back to Saskatoon. While Jordon and I were cleaning, Mark and Oliver headed over to the park where Oliver was loving the swings. It started out well…
but ended badly.
I don’t think it will be our last visit up for 2011. If it is still nice in two weekends we may head up again and if not, we’ll shut it down for the season then after one last day trip. Here are some photos of the weekend.

We are so fortunate that we can live in our cabin all year long. The only thing we really have to be careful about is the wind waves on the lake. I guess snow closes you down. - Margy
The cabin isn't insulated but that will change in the next couple of years and then it will be far more winterized.
The goal is spend significant time up there in the winter some day.
