Magic Cabin

Last weekend, Reese and I made a 'girl's trip' to Alabama to visit the Magic Cabin. The Magic Cabin is my friend, Emily's (pictured left), and her family's lakehouse. It's a wonderful cabin on Smith Lake and is a quiet, refreshing reatreat. We drove down on a Friday afternoon and came back Sunday afternoon. It was such a fun trip. We were with my friends Emily, Jena, and Tiffany...all from PT school. What a great time! I was initially worried about how Reese would do on the ride down, sleeping in a new place, and staying on her schedule, but she was perfect! Fell asleep for a little while in her car seat (unbelievable!), took great naps there, and slept great! She loved the water too. She would start talking as soon as she saw it. She even had her 1st boat ride!



We were so spoiled while we were there too! Emily and her family are so welcoming and generous. We ate so well. That's actually why we call it the Magic Cabin. Legend has it that you can eat all you want and none of the calories stick! We played hard too. We got to ski and wakeboard. Emily is phenomenal at all water sports. She just gets better and better every summer. Her brother can do flips too. The rest of us were happy that we even got up.

All the girls
I forgot how much fun this is
