Living in Minnesota, it's pretty much a given to have some form of cabin up north. At least two thirds of my friends have a cabin, and a few lucky members of my family do. Do I have a cabin, though? Of course not. It's probably one of the least Minnesotan things I can say, to be honest with you. If you don't have a cabin, it's like...not going to the beach in california, or the city in new york, or mexico if you live in texas, or something like that. You just don't do it. It's about as un-Minnesotan as not liking apple pie is un-american. (not that I am all for AMERICAN PRIDE WOOOOOOHOOOOOOO LETS HANG OUR FLAG HIGH YIPPYY KAYAY! I am more the sort to just think my state is bitchin'. Lets be honest. Minnesota rocks.) I hear everyone going up to their cabin every single weekend and think to myself "My life is missing the sweet scent of trees and lakewater"
well I got lucky this weekend. My dads uncle Tom has this cabin up north in Pequot Lakes. It was also redone, a basement, regular level, running water, electricity, and my favorite, a loft. It's not a HUGE cabin, it's a nice size and I love it. Occasionally we get the chance to come up here and it's just stunning. The lake is gorgeous and there's always a nice breeze.
Today was swelteringly hott. We got to the cabin about...11 in the morning and unloaded the car. I changed into my swimsuit immediately and laid out on the dock. i am determined to get tan this summer. It was so. Hott. and humid. I wanted to scream, but it felt nice to sit out there and bake. After a while of hanging out in the sun we decided to go on a boat ride. We were out there for a looonngng time and my dad let me drive the pontune. I'm not sure why, but there's just something that draws me to the lake. It's so peaceful and fun and I sound like a commplete and total dork saying this. but i love the lake. a lot. Now i'm hanging out inside while my dad cooks up some STEAK and i'm trying not to have a single care in the world! la dada dada. i'm going to go frollick in a medow now. Or read a book. Yeah i'll do the second one.
