Oh The Places We'll Go!: Our First Time @ The Land

Before we had kids, going to The Land on Labor Day was an annual event. For those of you who don't know, Norm (a.k.a. Papa) has a cabin near Wellsville that offers peace and quiet that helps rejuvenate you. I remember so many weekends where we'd go down there, play games, watch movies, eat, ride ATV's, play poker and darts and just have a good time. Every Labor Dad we'd go down there to stain the cabin and then have some fun. However, like any parent knows, once you have kids your time is monopolized and you pick and choose what you can do. It didn't help we moved to Portland either. Since we are only a few hours away now, we decided to escape for the weekend with the Harvey's, while Ryan went to a bachelor party.

Since it was Connor's first time there, we went down a little early to acclimate him to the new environment. Once we got there, Papa took us for a ride on the gator so we could gather all of the tree cameras. We set up our room, ate and then went to the hill to see if we could look for some deer before it got too dark. Unfortunately, we didn't see any deer, but he really enjoyed the ride over there : )

The remaining two days were spent having fun with the cousins. We usually don't travel from the cabin too much since there's not too much to do. If you ever visit Wellsville, there is a Tops, a Kmart and that's pretty much it. We decided to try and hit up a parade the next morning, but as we drove by we realized only a handful of people were there, so we kept driving. So, we made an entire morning out of shopping at Kmart. The boys cleaned up though. They each got a toy and a pretzel and were so tired from choosing their toy, they took a nap on the way back.

Unfortunately, our trip got cut short due to Connor and I not feeling well. I ended up with Strep, and Connor had an upper respiratory infection, so we ended up coming back a day early. We all had fun though, and can't wait to visit again! Enjoy the pics!
