It's Sunday!


Wow, it's Sunday! A day to catch up on laundry and clean......again. lol It's never ending. One good thing though.........I did finish cleaning out the family room! Everything from my small storage unit had been put in there and boy was there a lot! I rented a dumpster and had them dump it once last week and I'll have them dump it one more time this week then I should be good. John is happy.....he finally has his weight bench in the house! Maybe I'll wonder in there sometime and try them out! lol It feels good to almost have my house put all together from the move.

Tree House Weekend........

Last weekend we visited a place outside of Cave Junction, Oregon. It didn't have motel rooms or cabins but it did have tree houses!! It was just John & I and we had a lot of fun! The tree house shown below is the suite that we stayed in. It was their largest tree house. It had a master bedroom, kitchenette, living room, full bathroom with on demand water, and a very small loft made for very small children. lol I loved it! I want my own tree house now!!
I can't say enough good things about this place. They are very layed back and offer all kinds of activities for fun. Check out their link: http://www.treehouses.com/

A Tree House

A tree house, a free house,
A secret you and me house,
A high up in the leafy branches
Cozy as can be house.

A street house, a neat house,
Be sure and wipe your feet house
Is not my kind of house at all~
Let's go live in a tree house.

Above is the lodge.

One of the tree houses there.


Another tree house.



Yes, another tree house!

One of my favorite looking tree houses.


This tree house is pretty cool too and look at
all the excises you'll get with those stairs! lol

The rock swimming pool. It isn't open this time of year.



John trying to get into the midget loft! lol

John kindly picking Mr. Wood's nose! LOL


John taking his chances riding their crazy
wooden horses!! Isn't he such a dare devil!!


John getting a drink from the Illinois River. Yum!!


I just loved the look of this old stair way. It's really old and as you can see it's
got some gorgeous moss and furn growing on the side rock walls. Love it!!



We went hiking in the, "Red Woods".
This tree makes even me look slimmer! LOL

Some of the red woods on our hike.....these were some of the small ones.



Were we hiked there had once been a forest fire. This opening isn't that large but we did find some burnt trees where the openings were so large we could both walk into them and still had plenty of room to move around!! Not that's a tree!!!


John on a zip line....fun fun!!!


We were able to get away for 4 days. We had many ventures and had a lot of fun. Also, we were able to try out many of the local restaurants and stores. I can't wait to go again! The kids will love it when they go!
