Our Side of the Mountain

The weekend in the country

Well, one summer my two girls and I went up to my parents’ cabin for the weekend. Their cabin is by the water near Iona.

It is very nice up there in the summer time. Both my daughters love it up there because there is lots to do. Well, I enjoy being up to the cabin with my family in the summer time. I enjoy being up there because there are lots of animals up around the cabin. We have deer, rabbits and bald eagles.

Sometimes we sit under the stars at night and we watch the sunset. We also have fires with the kids. When it starts getting dark I will ask my father to put his granddaughters to bed. Then Mom and I will stay up together and talk and watch the boats go by that are lit up at night.

When it comes morning, both my daughters go swimming and then they play games on the beach together.

When they are done swimming they get ready to go for a walk into the woods with their grandfather, while my Mother and I clean up the cabin. Then when they came back from the woods I ask them how was their walk in the woods.

Well, our family weekend is now over. We are getting the truck ready to go home and it is going to be a very long ride home. We fall asleep on the way home to my mother’s singing.

The End.
