This is Rob.. I think he's contemplating how we need a cabin like the one we got to visit with Dad and Mom last weekend. It was a beautiful spring day. The bad part was mom had gotten sick the night before (at the cabin) and wasn't able to do much... the kids all stayed on Friday night and then Elic stayed Saturday too. They all had a great time!!!
