My dad, Jon, and Larry helped build a wood shed/play house all day Saturday. It was a lot of work. It will be so fun for the kids to play in once it's done. They already think it's totally fun even without the walls! They were all right there ready and willing to help out when needed.
It was just about perfect weather until Saturday night. It rained all night and we woke up to lots of fog and 50 degree weather. Papa still wanted to do something fun with the kids and decided to let the kids rapel off the back deck of the cabin. Papa was the "cool" one for the day. What other adult would put 4, 5, and 7 year olds over the edge of a balcony??! They did a great job.
Here is the play house as it stands right now. It still needs the roof and walls, but they got a lot done in the one day they were able to work on it.
Sunday night we had more rain. It was so cold we had to start a fire to get the cabin warm. In the morning it was still raining and was very foggy again. We were thinking we might end up having to stay another night at the cabin if the storm didn't let up. There was finally a point when it stopped raining for an hour and a half. We got everything packed up and started to head out just as it started raining again. It was so SCARY to drive down the dirt roads that were wet and soupy. Our van and trailer were going down the mountain sideways a few times. Thankfully our prayers were answered and we were able to get home safely. I definately didn't like being on the edge of a mountain and feeling our van slide! The kids are also glad to be home today rather than tomorrow. Caleb was worried about missing a day of school.Here is some video of the kids rapelling off the balcony.

Brave kids! That clubhouse they are building looks awesome! I am sure the kids will have a lot of fun with it.
