Birthday weekend

A few weeks ago we headed up to the family cabin to spend sometime relaxing for Dave's birthday. We arrived late Thursday night with the expectation of being able to sleep in. But the curtains in the room Nathan stayed in didn't block out the early morning light so he was up bright and early. When I told him he should just go back to sleep he informed me that it was light out so it was time to be awake. We spent Friday just relaxing and hanging out at the cabin. We enjoyed lunch at a local pizza joint and Dave enjoyed taking a nap. Dave's parents showed up Friday night to spend the rest of the weekend with us. Saturday morning we headed to Jamestown to ride the train. Then for lunch we went to Cover's Apple Ranch for some lunch. It is a farm run by a Mennonite family. Spent the rest of the evening just relaxing and the headed home Sunday after lunch. It was so nice to be able to get away without any worries for just a few days.
