Had a great weekend! Went 4-wheeling/gun shootin/fishin and of course photographing in Kentucky at my husband’s cousin’s cabin. My son and his girlfriend joined us and we brought our dog “Jake” for the first time on a car trip longer than 30 minutes. It was a 3 hour trip and he panted the entire way there. Next time I think we need some doggie downers! He had such a good time exploring the property and tracking all of the smells…the ride was worth it!
Here’s some of the land surrounding the cabin…
After unpacking the vehicles…I made sandwiches for them and had a huge salad for myself. They snacked on organic cheeries/grapes/strawberries/blackberries and celery/carrots/apple with hummus. I tried a trick with the apple that I found on Pinterest…cut the apple and put a rubber band around it so it won’t brown.
Then…it was time for the 4-wheelin fun! We used to own 4-wheelers but sold them about 10 years ago…so it was a treat to get to ride again. Here’s my son and his girlfriend looking like “The Terminator”…
After taking a quick ride, my husband and I went for a hike. We walked in the glorious sunshine and stopped occasionally for me to take some photos…
We came up through the woods to find our way back to the cabin…
Then it was time for more photo fun…
I like it when people aren’t afraid of looking silly!
The porch had a lovely view of the fishing pond and was a great place to kick back!
This was calling my name….”take my picture—please”!
We did lots of target shooting!
A different perspective.
I brought along the ingredients for Se-mores…but I was good and only had a chocolate bar! The next morning the lighting was different so I took this photo of the cabin…
We went fishing and I caught one. This photo is of my son taken from the cabin with my zoom lens…
Jake wanted to ride in my lap for a few minutes on the drive home…
It was a wonderful weekend and we’re blessed to have our family and such a wonderful place to visit! I hope you had a great one too!
