Last days at the Cabin

We spent this past weekend at the family cabin on Rainy Lake relaxing and enjoying the company of family. It was our last weekend before the cabin is closed up for the winter. We spent most of our time with Aunts,Uncles, Cousins and Eric's sister Rachel. We also spent some time reading and playing cards with some of Eric's high school friends. We loved being at the cabin and will be sad to not be there again for several long winter months.

The excitement of the weekend was finding a flying squirrel in the stove/fireplace. Apparently it was looking for its winter home and thought our cabin looked good. After being a little spooked from the noise and discovering two beady looking eyes in the stove we started trying to capture the little guy. He was scared and obviously didn't want to be captured by us. After several failed attempts and a whole night to relax, we got him trapped in some Tupperware. I am sure he was happy to be out of the fireplace and back into the wild....lets hope he doesn't try to use the cabin as his winter home again!
