At the cabin- Georgie.


This is what it's like to be a baby in this family. You just get thrown on a coffee table and they expect you not to go anywhere. One of these days, I'm going to start rolling people! I think at this point, mama was a little mad at me because everyone was outside at the campfire, but I didn't like being out in the cold, even though I was bundled up. So she was stuck inside by herself watching the OSU-Wisconsin game. (But they kept showing shots of the lakes, the Farmer's Market and the Capitol all lit up at night, so she was feeling pretty melancholy about that too.)
Luckily, everyone started drifting back in before mama could feel too bad. (Though the Badger win felt good!) After a few rowdy rounds of Pit, everyone was feeling good.
We forgot to take a picture of the cabin we stay in, but mama did get this picture of a crisp, foggy fall morning from the porch. She loved it up there, especially because it is 85 degrees, muggy and overcast in SC today. (When is fall going to come???)
We love this picture! This is how Henry and June pay attention to me. Perched precariously over me, inches away from a knee to the belly.
When it warmed up a bit, we sent Sadie and Henry on a garbage run.
After we checked out of the cabin, no one much felt like heading home, so we went over to the Carnifex Ferry Battlefield next door and spent the afternoon playing. Throw me the ball, Pikes!
Isn't Aunt Girl pretty?
The big kids decided that the sand volleyball court would be the most fun.
Check out how filthy Henry is. Yuck. It should be noted that the entire weekend was punctuated by June and Sadie fighting. Sadie just wanted to be close to June and June just wanted to be left alone. Those two can really go at it. Luckily, once Henry showed up, Sadie's attention drifted to him and he actually wanted to play with other kids. The best part is that June spent 3 days asking for Sadie after we got home.
The view from on top of the mountain. Mama was a little bummed she didn't get to run the trails this year, but she was constantly attached to me and papa laid down some big threats after she ran in the rain last year, fell down a hill and came limping back to the cabin with bloody knees and a twisted ankle. We're happy to report that mama made it threw this vacation with no injuries.
That's a good looking family.
June didn't want to be a part of this shot.
And here's the whole group! I'm going to go ahead and call Cooper Bridge Day 3 a huge success! See you again next year!
