Over the long holiday weekend in September we enjoyed a little peace and quiet, well attempted to with 3 little boys, in Brown Co, Indiana. It's a short 1 1/2 hours drive from our house to the beautiful wooded country. We rented a cabin in the woods for the weekend.
Breakfast the first morning.
Horseshoes!
Nick thought it was essential to have a huge stick while hiking in his pajamas the first morning!
This was the destination of our hike that morning, a small bench on the other side of the ravine.
Our cabin in the woods!
There were only 2 "tall chairs" for the counter bar, so we had to make do! Ben didn't seem to mind too much.
The rain started after the first 24hours of being at the cabin, and it didn't stop until the day we left, 3 days later! The boys thought stomping in the mud was the best thing ever!
We did have a little break from the rain on Monday morning, just long enough to go fishing at the state park!
The boys' favorite part of fishing is buying the worms, getting their tackle together and talking about fishing! They loose interest pretty quickly, but stayed at it just long enough for a few cute pictures.
When the rain started again we headed to the indoor water park!
We visited Columbus, IN, just down the road, and got to experience a very cool children's museum! The kids had so much fun crafting, playing games, blowing bubbles and lots more. They even entered the museum through a door that was just their size!
The museum also had an enormous toilet tunnel slide! Sam and Ben weren't too sure about it, but Nick loved it, as any 5 1/2 year old boy would!
Across the street from the museum there was a huge indoor climbing structure that we played on. It was the perfect rainy day activity!
On the final day we went into the town on Nashville for lunch, a bit of shopping and our traditional train ride! We are happy to report that everyone stayed awake on the train this year, unlike in years past when Sam fell asleep, both times.
