Cabin Party 1-17-09

My Dad has spent a lot of time building and adding things to his cabin. This is the ground that his Grandparents owned and now he owns. All the original structures are gone and he has built a log cabin and his most recent addition is the "pool". He built the pond a long time ago and up until recently it had a swimming area that just had sand leading into the pond. Well this winter he decided to upgrade this area. He drained the pond, built a retaining wall and will pour a concrete floor on the lower part of the picture. The fence keeps the kids in the shallow area. This Part is only 40-45 inches deep. The top part where there is dirt will be filled with sand to play with and then my Mom reminded him that Kyrah and the twins will not have anywhere to play so he dug out the little round circle part and made that into "Peanuts Pool". It will fill up with about 16-18 inches of water. Keep in mind this is all pond water.

On Saturday Dad had a small cabin party. Kyrah liked walking around and being outside. Here she is on the cabin porch.

Look how happy she is to be playing outside. I don't know why but I really didn't think we would be outside that much considering it was only 40 degrees, but when we got there everyone was sitting around a fire outside. Well I didn't pack her heavy coat or gloves...those are her extra pair of socks on her hands... that actually worked out just fine.
