There was a Seinfeld episode that talked about cherishing the cabin. This was George's future in-law's cabin and in Kramer fashion he accidentally burned down the cabin. There is some truth to that phrase, I sit here this weekend at my in-law's place at Grand View Lodge. I am reminded of three things that make coming here enjoyable, family, fun and food, with faith being the bond that binds it all together.
I have never been part of a group that is so closely knit together as this family is. The six younger cousins are all very close and get a long so well. My son who is four absolutely adores his 12 and 14 year old male cousins and they don't mind hanging out with the little guy. Even when my two older daughters are around they are welcomed with open arms. There is rarely any incidences among the cousins.
The fun extends in many areas from taking the kids swimming or to town or finding a number of other things to do depending on the season. The fun of course always includes my brother in-law and I golfing with our mother in-law or trying to always beat our father in-law in cards. The amount of fun is endless and nothing beats hanging out in the north woods and relaxing with the family.
The food is always delicious, from the big breakfasts to the expansive dinners my mother in-law always out does herself, she is truly a treasure. Of course the desserts and the pirate booty ice cream at the Chocolate Ox is unbeatable.
The bond that brings us all together is the faith in Jesus Christ that we all share. Praying together, praising together and playing together binds the family, fun and food together to make this an unforgettable place and experience.
Don't forget to "cherish the cabin".
