Mr. Nardin's Cabin

We spent this past week at Mr. Nardin’s cabin in Winter Park. Mr. Nardin is a very dear friend of ours who is an elder at our former church and was my English teacher at H.O.P.E. He is a really great man.
Anyway, we stayed at his cabin last year and had a wonderful time, and we were very grateful when he offered us use of his cabin again this year.
We had a lot of fun hiking, swimming, exploring, enjoying the scenery, making s'mores every night, and just spending time together.
Anna and Aidan setting off.


Allison realizing Allen ate the last of the marshmallows.

Everyone happy that we found another bag of marshmallows.

Mr. Handsome
Wading in Lake Granby (or Granby Lake?)

I think she was gonna build a boat.


All bundled up.

I tried to capsize her log. =)


Hiking up to Columbine Lake. BEAUTIFUL hike.
I love seeing God's glory revealed in nature!


The crew. Right before "our blood nourished thousands of mosquitoes." (Quote from a hiker who wrote in the log before us.. so true!) *Note to self: Remember mosquito repellant!*

A bouquet Andrea and Allison put together. I love the vibrant colors!
I wish I had time to write about a few random (comical) adventures I had. But upon Daddy's orders, it's time for bed.

  3. I'm so glad you did Columbine Lake! It is a great hike...what a bummer that our stays in WP didn't overlap. Were there any columbines? Last year there were maybe five (on the whole hike!) and we called it Lack of Columbine. :)
    Do post the funny stories...

    Love you all,
    Annina

  4. Annina, we did not see ONE single columbine! haha! That was a really fun hike though. I'm glad you guys suggested it!

    Tyler, one of the stories was about Allison sleepwalking, so you'd probably appreciate it.
