1st Cabin trip of the Year!

We took a quick trip up to the cabin this weekend, our first cabin trip of the year. We always get so anxious to get up there each spring and can hardly wait!

The boys had so much fun just getting ready for the trip this year! This first trip was mostly just because we got a used sectional for the cabin that we needed to get up there and out of our garage. We rented a UHaul to get them up there (Dave didn't want them to get all dusty). Because we had to tow that, the 4-wheelers had to stay behind this trip. :(

But next trip, we will get the 4-wheelers up to the cabin. We only went for one night this time, a pretty quick trip.

The weather was quite nice for this time of year, cool but not freezing. We did get to our cabin to find that part of our deck had collapsed under the weight of the winter snow but it shouldn't be too difficult of a repair project for Dave next time.

Dave had a GREAT time this weekend! He could seriously live up there. He has so much fun just wandering around outside finding things to do.

He loves chopping wood with his chain saw.

Walking the fence lines and making repairs as well as walking the ditches and irrigation canals to make sure we are getting enough water onto our property. He could do that for hours!

And of course, he takes the boys on lots of "adventures".

Brandon loves playing outside exploring nature and also enjoys just hanging out in the cabin, reading books and having some quiet time.

He loves to have fires, throw rocks in the creek behind our cabin, dig for buried treasure and dinosaur bones and whatever other made up game they are on at the time.

He had a bag of toys that he hauled around with him wherever he went. Yes, of course it had dinosaurs in it but that's okay, I am just glad that they were outside playing!

And of course, his favorite thing to do is go on adventures with dad!

Eric loves to just be outside. He comes up with all sorts of games to play.

Unfortunately, he woke up sick this morning and spent a few hours throwing up. Poor baby! :(

But nothing keeps that kid down for long. Soon he was back to full strength and outside playing ...

and throwing rocks in the creek.

He especially had fun being a cowboy. He even made us all call him "cowboy" instead of Eric.

He loves to play with Brandon. They have a lot of fun together at the cabin!

Kyle, he is always happy. He loves to be outside and just had fun hanging out ...

and going for walks with dad ...

and practicing his walking skills!

Me? I just play with the boys, enjoy watching their imaginations, and follow everyone around taking pictures! :)
