Ilyse, Val and I headed up to Avery Acres for a weekend in April. We did everything from riding four wheelers (we actually were able to find snow to ride in too), to jumping on Wee Hee trees. We usually need a vacation from the cabin because we play so hard. We eat like kings , thanks to Ilyse. And we play like school girls as you will be able to tell from the pictures.

We had another great weekend at the Avery Cabin.

(if you look carefully, you can see the blankets we used to lay out on.)

The Avery's Cabin is really a tattoo parlor

(I bet mom will think I am a bad influence.)

It's my turn.
Thanks Ilyse for the push.

I don't think she could have a bigger smile on her face.

American Gladiators here we come.

Check those arms out.

You don't want to mess with these two girls.

Ilyse, Val and I decided to work on our tan for the summer.

Val and I are fair skinned so it didn't work very well.

We were overheating, so Val and I tried to cool down by wading in the pond..

Check out the after picture. (below)

We look like we just visited the Dead Sea.

Steph, Ilyes & Val

We are having a blast, can you tell?

Val and I

Ilyse told me she wanted a house in Idaho, but couldn't she find something

better than this, for Pete's sake.

Ilyse had me over for supper (old soup, yummy)

Our trees are enchanted!

Coy and I

(I got a little bit of sun, can you tell?)

Ilyse on the swing

(I can't tell is she is having fun or scared to death)

Chris and her dog Blue
