Saturday
Hiking up to the cabin.
Saturday afternoon hike.
Suddenly elves and gnomes and other forest creatures began to appear as we walked through the woods.
And fairy houses were discovered.
Sunday morning (chilly)
Children went off on their own adventure and I found them by the creek (where they were only supposed to go with an adult but they were so entranced in making birchbark boats that I couldn't interrupt to fuss at them).
And later, tending the trees like good wood elves...
Beautiful weekend. Magical place. Perfect sweet celebration of the beginning of fall. (I mean really -- children in the woods making birch bark boats and climbing trees and hiding like elves and hunting for berries and discovering fairy houses -- could it get any sweeter?) Thanks to friends for inviting us up!
