The last time I used airbnb I got a cabin in the Poconos that ended up being dumpy and dirty. Thinking it was simply a poor choice on my part, I used airbnb again for a cabin in the Catskills for Memorial Day weekend and, yes, it too was dumpy and dirty. Now, I'm sure there are genuinely nice places you can rent through airbnb, but given that there are very little cleaning standards (no security deposits, no cleaning fees, etc.), it may be best for us in the future to go through a more reputable site ... or at least pay more than rock-bottom prices for a cabin.
Anyway, other than a rainy Saturday, we had a great weekend catching critters, eating smores, and playing in various bodies of water. Kate and I both realized that we are raising city kids, through and through, and that spending time in nature doesn't come as natural to them as it did to us. Or at least as we like to remember it.
So here it is, Memorial Day weekend with the Wards ... in nature:
 |
| frog eggs |
 |
| It's a pickle ... and it was only $1 |
 |
| We're throwing rocks |
 |
| Enjoying milkshakes and movie on the way back (to which E said, "Now THIS is vacation!") |
Congratulations, you made it all the way to the videos. It's like the dessert of this blog. Enjoy.

Looks like a great weekend!!! The salamander is awesome and the frog looks really large, possibly it is just the camera angle. Justin’s expression in the pickle shot seems that the verdict is still out as to whether the pickle was a good buy. Very good selfie of the 4 of you. Good job kissing the frog. It probably won’t turn you into a princess but should be good for some good luck.
