Earlier in August we spent a week at a cabin in rural Dent. This is near the town Vergas where my cousins and grandma live. I spent many summers as a kid going to Vergas and have super fond memories of it. We had such a wonderful time that I was really sad to leave. First we probably had the best weather of the summer, everyday was hot and sunny which is perfect weather for hanging out on the beach, playing ball, swimming, hunting for frogs and just plain old lazying around. We met some wonderful families who also stayed at the resort and it just so happened that one was a homeschooling family from California. It was really great just hanging out with everyone and being able to completely relax and not feel like we had to go anywhere or do anything. Abby got to go on a few speed boat rides and Shawn went water skiing and tubing. The kids spent the entire day and evening outdoors and were so happy. One day Shawn's parents came for a visit which was really nice. Another night we went to my cousins for dinner. He had just gotten a shipment of baby chicks so the kids loved seeing those and he has pigs. We also got to ride on a four wheeler through their cornfield and woods. We had grandma over to the cabin for dinner and late night smores. We went to Big Jim's and got yummy treats, grandma had her first Monkey Tail and Joe and Abby loved their popsicles and ice cream. We ended the week by celebrating my grandma's 80th birthday. Fun was definitely had by all!
