Camp Dahlstrom

We arrived at "Camp Dahlstrom" on Thursday night just in time for a dinner feast. It was wet out and oh-so-beautiful. I was instantly in love. Brooke's great-great-grandpa built this cabin years and years ago. Only what has absolutely needed to be updated has been updated since. It is charmingly rustic and we hope one day to have a place half as cool as this to call our own.

There were dozens of Humming Birds right outside of the cabin day and night.

We had a smokey campfire and enjoyed lovely conversation all evening long.

Because I am immature, I think this one is funny:

Just one of the many cozy rooms in this abode. That cougar is there to chase away any scary dreams you might have while sleeping in this bed.

One day I will have a stove like this. It doesn't work anymore but how beautiful is it?

And my favorite chair.

After Copper woke us up the next morn, Dustin and Carly had to leave and Joe and Tori surprised us by showing up We had a delicious waffle and fruit parfait breakfast and hurried our little buns off to the lake for a morning run. The weather could not have been better.

A little later on, too many people had the same idea we did and the water got a little too crowded. We headed back to camp for a picnic and a nap.

I was in Heaven on this rope swing. Word to the wise, wear pants when doing this.

These=FUN!!!

We floated down the river in the backyard for about 20 minutes. I had never done this before and L-O-V-E-D it.

In the evening we headed back to the lake for another board run. The boys are extremely talented and did not disappoint.

And Brooke, the true champion of the trip:

Thank you Matt and Brooke for such a fun night away. This was the best and happiest weekend we have had all year. We had more fun than we could have imagined. You guys are the best!
