we were tired of living in a house. so we packed our gear, and food for picky eaters, sumptuous treats for company, and we battled horrendous traffic to get out of town. we drove through the secret roads, our car tossing up dust to anyone that dare follow us down twisty paths, and made our way to the cabin on the lake.
we kicked off our shoes and walked down to the dock, rode in pirate ships, tamed sharks, and glided through the water like royalty in a throne of gold. we knit scarves for penguin, took midnight boat rides to gaze at stars, held magic gatherings and busted fresh with "the sprinkler". a holy cow led the d&d crew to honest abe, who wanted nothing more than love and cuddles, revealing that even the most wildest fantasies can reflect our very perfect realities.
we walked among our giant friends, listening to their secrets as we followed abe up and down steep slopes and marveled at the bright colors that popped out to greet us in the most unassuming of spaces. we danced and sang, and laughed and kissed, we swam and ate great food, explored and engaged in conversation with ease.
we watched our energetic young boy tumble into the lake, fully clothed and unprepared for the fright of his life. he was lifted right out, scooped up and held close, as the water and fear dripped away in the arms of safety and comfort. he was wrapped in warmth and love and dry clothes, held tight and reminded of rules.
we loved the cabin, until it was time to go. so we said our goodbyes, and gave great big hugs, we said thank you and we'll be back soon, piled into the car, and went home to live in a house.
thank you to our dear friend chuck, for the weekend of relaxation and fun. getting to know you better was time well spent!
