Hello Colors ... Goodbye Cabin

We went up to the cabin this weekend to see the fall colors and were blessed to be there at the perfect time!  The colors were gorgeous!! 

 

And Chunky even got to do some 4-wheeling with us this time.  He did well.

This was our last time up this year which is sad. :)  See you next year cabin.

Labor Day Weekend

As always, we spent Labor Day weekend at our cabin.  We were lucky enough to have Aunt Amy, Ian and his little boy Ledger with us this weekend as well which was fun.  We always head down to Fort Bridger and spend some time at the Mountain Man Rendezvous.  We went first thing Saturday morning and it was perfect ... nice and cool and not too crowded.  It was great!

 

 

 

Also over the weekend the boys spent a lot of time in their new fort. 

 

And fishing.

  

 

And of course playing in the creek with their cabin cousins!  We are so lucky to have so much wonderful family up at the cabin.  We love our cabin family!!!

 

 

And the kids weren't the only ones to have a great time this weekend.  Chunky LOVES exploring around and has turned into quite the mountain dog because he can take off exploring and always comes back.  He even managed to run off some cows that were too close to our cabin.  Ever seen one of those National Geographic videos where they show a pack of lions taking down an elephant?  Well that was Chunky, all on his own.  He went straight at those cows, jumped up onto the backside of one of those cows and ran them right out of town.  We were unsure whether Chunky would ever stop chasing them and come back but he did.  What a great watch dog! :)

First Day of School

Today was the boys first day of school!  They have had a very fun summer but were also very ready and excited to start back to school.

Eric is in 2nd grade this year and has Mrs. Eldredge.  He is very excited to go to school, to see his friends and to wear his new school shoes!!

Brandon is in 4th grade this year and has Mrs. Wightman.  He is very excited to go to school, to finally have his best friend Jace in his class as well as his friend Braeden and to get back to learning!

 

As is tradition, we stopped off at Dunford Bakers for doughnuts on our way to school with our best friends the Danielson's.

 I am very glad that my kids LOVE school and are excited to go back and to learn.  Have fun guys!!!

The Ultimate Fortress

The boys have been begging for a clubhouse at the cabin for awhile now.  So this weekend Dave took up some supplies and we went to work on it.  Our friends, Zac & Rebecca Dailey and their four girls came up and spent the weekend with us and helped build what the kids named "The Ultimate Fortress".

 

The kids made a board for all visitors to sign in on.  Their first visitors to sign in were their cousins Weylen and Cole and Aunt Jodee.  Aunt Ginger and Missy (the dog) followed later that evening.  Hopefully the board will continue to fill with more visitors.
