Lake Refuge

           
         We just got back from our vacation. It was so nice to spend a few days with dear friends and get a break from reality. Our weekend was filled with relaxing, boat rides, fishing, chatting, and having fun! We (the girls in the house) did a few lessons of a webinar from the Botkin Sisters called Reclaiming Beauty, I highly recommend it! You can check that out at visionarydaughters.com.
It was so great to go to sleep the first night and have your ears ringing because there was NO noise! Then my brother jumped off the boat into the freezing cold lake, and most of us went kayaking. It was then that I figured out that your lower body gets wet. :) Though I got a little wet, I dont regret doing that with my eldest brother.

 These were the stairs (in our backyard) that lead down to the lake. :)

 This was the view of the lovely landscape while we were on our boat ride.

 Me and my big brother kayaking at sunset! :)

 After we packed and cleaned the house, we went downtown and had an amazing meal at a little diner, then went and did a little shopping. :)

This was the trading store (essentially a thrift store), where my mom and I bargained for a necklace. :) I love little towns!

What were some fun things you did recently!?

Apple Picked!

We went Apple Picking!

Last Saturday we went apple picking! It was my first time going to pick apples so I had a fun time! I hope it is our new fall tradition! Not to mention I made a record of climbing up a tree in a skirt, our friends were impressed! I dont have any pictures of my outfit that day but imagine this: A long denim skirt, black leggings, brown boots, blue/brown plaid shirt and a brown belt, hair in a pony tail...Cute right?!

 This was a bee house (i have no clue what they are called), i also loved all the "country like" details of the rusty wheel and things like that.

There were a lot of people there, it was a very busy Saturday for sure!

 YUM! We picked about 50lbs of apples that day! My mom canned some of them, we have made apple crisps, and had them as snacks! They are amazing!

We also stopped on the way home at this cute little town. I wish I took more pictures of it but this was the train tracks that went right through the town.

I will post more post more often next time!
BYE!
