Shaver Lake

This weekend was Jason's parents' anniversary... It was going to be a hard occasion to "celebrate," so the family decided to get together and spend a night at their Shaver Lake cabin. The kids had a blast playing with each other, and the same goes for the adults. After the kids went to bed, we played Rook (this is a Mennonite family, after all!), Perpetual Commotion (one of mine and Jason's favorites), and Pick Four (can't get enough of this game!). Today, we went horseback riding. Well, not me- being pregnant, I just didn't feel safe getting on a horse. Anyway, Grace LOVED it. She kept telling the horse, Cody, to go faster (he didn't). When Cody stopped to munch on the grass along the way, Grace told him, "Cody, eat at home!" The ride lasted about an hour, and the trail went along Shaver Lake. When she returned, she was so excited to share with me about "horsey Cody." I just hope there won't be a day when she says she wants a pony!!!After we got back to the cabin, Grace decided she wanted to try out her cousin's bike, never mind the fact that she still hasn't quite figured out how to ride a tricyle, much less a big girl bike... Anyway, with Jason's help, she got to experience bike riding for the first time- it was a day for "firsts!"
