Fall Break Retreat

We are never on this blog anymore. It's very unfortunate but given the hecticness of our new life and schedules, something had to temporarily go and sadly it was the blog. We are on fall break now though and have a moment to pause and breathe.

We went up to Flagstaff for the weekend to get away. It's pretty cold up there, a brisk 45 degrees, so we rented a small cabin. The cabin had a small, wood burning fireplace inside to keep us warm. In the morning, we had drink coffee and cocoa by a campfire while Roland ran around exploring.

Our little cabin that we rented for the night. No one else was around so we had the whole campground to ourselves. 

 Roland especially loved that nobody was around because he was free to run without a leash.

Owen liked being able to explore, play with sticks, chase prairie dogs, and be in a place that felt like winter. 

 We came across a stick tent that some wonderfully creative person had built.

 Overall, it was a much needed break and family time.

Yay, more pictures and updates on the Az bunch~!! Ya know, it is like family is really living states away when the blog is not passing on cute, daily activities of the Wilhelme's. Thanks- can you hear the sigh of relief exhaled in Washington? Looks like a super camp out and that was an awsome fort. Eddy, it looked like Dad sitting in the fort with O. Wow. Owen I hope you're having lots of fun and meeting new friends in school. Eddy and Carrie I hope the year is going well in class. Can't wait to hear all about it. Love, Trina

Looks like a good time was had by all. It was so nice and such a surprise to see the blog added to. Kinda warms the heart. We hope you all got at little rest along with the family time. O looks so grown up. And Eddy, I apologize for the genetics, at least it was tempered a bit with your Mother's grace.
We are proud of you all and the journey you travel.
Love, Dad....Boat Grampa
