we took advantage of the brief warm spell (in the 50’s!) this weekend and went for a walk at pandapas pond with the dogs. there were lots of other people out with their dogs as well, so our two weren’t able to be off-leash as much as they like to be and the trails were super muddy, but it was a beautiful day and i’m so glad we were able to get outside for change.
can you tell someone someone else was very excited to be running around outside? (and yes, she’s running around on the frozen pond)

i’m back to share a few pictures from our anniversary weekend. we got in around dinnertime on thursday night, got the pups all settled in, and started on dinner…
…nothing fancy, just some ravioli and broccoli risotto
after clearing out an entire paper grocery bag full of ashes, ross got a nice fire going. the cabin didn’t have any heat, just a few well-placed space heaters and this nice fireplace.
the cabin’s cozy kitchen
this is probably the “wait – did you say dinner?” face
the next morning, after sleeping in and making some pancakes and eggs for breakfast, we finally released the dogs to jump into the creek running directly behind the house. needless to say, they didn’t need to be asked twice to hop in.
across the street, the cabin’s property had a few short walking trails that we tried to make the most of – it was a gorgeous day and perfect for spending outdoors
we took a break for lunch back at the house and just hung out around the house to read and relax. ross even set up a hammock down by the creek and of course the dogs got back into the water for the second time that day
two miles down the road was a camp with a fun hiking trail up to a small waterfall, so we loaded everyone back up and made the trip. the hike wasn’t difficult at all and we were able to casually stop for pictures, let the dogs off leash, and just enjoy the day
it’s not the Cascades, but still really beautiful and peaceful
it took a few tries, but here’s a nice family pic in front of the waterfall. in the end, it was the most relaxing weekend we’d had in a long long time and all without leaving our region. we’ve already talked about finding another excuse to spend a night or two at this cabin.
too funny not to share: yes, there is a claw-foot tub in the bedroom.
