As I spent the day cooking, cleaning, organizing, and minimizing the kids spent the day setting up the cabin. Well the boys did, the girls just hung out in there intermittently throughout the day.
I was impressed by the progress that they made. Country Boy spent the last few months accumulating goods to fill his “cabin” with. Today he did just that.
Since firing up the wood cook-stove for the first time this afternoon they already cooked up some hot cocoa, mac & cheese, and deer steak. Yeah… no dishes or clean-up for me!
Maine Man has spent endless hours helping CB get this together before Winter. They still have a few more things to do before moving it to the final destination.
Squirrel hide…
They even decorated the loft with Christmas lights.
A game of war….
It is still a work in progress. But it was great to see the kids take such pride and work together to make it a usable space today. I have no doubt that they will have many good times in the cabin. Some of my fondest childhood memories were in cabins we built, lake-side lean-to’s and moss houses we constructed.
