The fam and I are heading to “Cabin 8” again this year for the Fourth of July. Cabin 8 is the cabin my husband grew up going to every year since he was a child. This will be my seventh year going for the Fourth of July, and I love it every time.<\/p>\n
Cabin 8 is where I actually met my husband’s family.<\/p>\n
When The Hubby invited me to go to his family’s cabin to actually MEET his family, I was both excited and mortified.<\/p>\n
What if they don’t like me? What if I don’t fit in? What if it totally sucks and I am stuck there for a WEEK!?<\/em><\/p>\n Nonetheless, I decided to go and hoped for the best.<\/p>\n So, I baked my famous chocolate chip cookies, put together a little Fourth of July gift basket and away we went. Not only was I meeting the parents on this trip, but I was meeting the brothers, their significant others, a grandma, an aunt and a cousin.<\/p>\n Holy Hell.<\/p>\n I began to sweat a little bit on the ferry ride over, and I think I had a trickle going down my forehead when we drove down the long dirt road up to the cabin. If The Hubby was talking to me, I didn’t hear a word of it as I was completely emersed in my surroundings, taking everything in. Scouting things out too, of course.<\/p>\n My nerves ceased, though, when I spotted a 5’3″-ish woman jumping up and down and\u00a0clapping her hands together with the biggest grin on her face as we pulled in. That was The Hubby’s mom.<\/p>\n I was immediately embraced with a gigantic bear hug. A long, warm hug as if she’d known me for years. I am pretty sure she was still jumping up and down a little bit too.<\/p>\n I then met the rest of the crew and felt like I instantly fit in. Incredibly friendly, funny, and never a dull moment. Boat rides, skiing, wake-boarding, ice-cream cones, family games, the famous huckleberry cobbler, fishing, jumping off the dock, and so much more fun was all crammed into one week, and I LOVED it.<\/p>\n A few pictures through the years…<\/p>\n
