Lycoming County

This past weekend we were invited by some friends to a cabin.. a very primitive cabin.
The water supply was from the nearby spring.. it was gravity feed into a box which had a pump.. what wasn't used was returned to the spring. There was no bathroom.. well technically it was a changing room.. We had to use an outhouse.. a very smelly one!

We had a wonderful time with the Martin Family(Anthony, Kathy & kids)! On Saturday we went for a hike.. the men folk got lost in the woods for 2 hrs... They were gonna sneak through the woods ahead of us and jump out to scare the kids.. it didn't work! They were faster than we were(go figure) and got too far ahead of us.

We also had a campfire and roasted weinies and made s'mores.. yummmeee!

The kids had tons of fun playing in the spring.. they were able to get wet & muddy and not get in trouble for it :) Jason even enjoyed playing in it.. He made a dam out of mud, rocks & old branches. Callie like stomping around in it as well.

We did a whole lot of nothing.. and it was fun. Kathy & Anthony introduced us to Blokus.. What a fun game! Jason and I had a wonderful time being with another couple that we have so much in common with.. Like we both have 3 kids, our oldest ones have ADHD, we parent our kids alike.

We saw a hummingbird right out the dining room window(very neat), Jason saw a snake(ewww), we saw lots of bear poop(no bear, though)& we heard a wild boar late saturday night! The boys found a couple of lil toads!
