Cabin Days 3 & 4

 Saturday was a lot of fun. We hung out all morning and the kids played. Here's Brooklyn and Claire with the flowers they picked on our walk:

After lunch we quickly packed a few things and headed off to the old cabin. Josh's grandparents originally were part of an older cabin about 15 minutes farther than this one. Once the old cabin got too many people wanting to share it, they bought their own for their family. The old cabin has a beautiful pond that we always hike to. It was interesting hiking with 6 kids and only 4 adults. The hardest part was that the water was really high. So the little streams that we usually jump over were small rivers almost a foot deep. Josh carried Brynlee on his back for most the hike to the pond. At a couple parts Brooklyn insisted on being carried as well.

Amy and Chase. He was a trooper in our make-shift sling:

 Brayden got his fishing pole for his bday last year and finally got to use it! He was pretty excited:

 Brooklyn loved throwing rocks into the pond:

 Brynlee LOVED the water. Here she is playing in it:

 And this is what happens when we would pull her out of the water:

 The hike back I carried Brynlee and Brooklyn rode on Josh's back:

 We fed horses on the way back:

After the hike we went back for a much needed nap for the kids. Saturday night we just relaxed and hung out again, which was SO nice to kick back and not do anything. Sunday was also pretty laid back. Rachelle and Sean came up to spend the day and celebrate Josh's birthday. Later in the afternoon Josh's family came up, so we had a full house for the late afternoon/evening which was a lot of fun. Claire and Brooklyn sat with Rachelle while the guys played a game of horseshoes:

Since everyone was up at the cabin we celebrated Josh's birthday. Here is the AMAZING cake my sister and her husband made:

I gave Josh a plane ticket to Portland Oregon for the BYU game. He was pretty shocked and excited.

Brayden helping open presents:

And of course Brooklyn also had to help:

In the morning Brayden helped Steve cook breakfast. I made crepes for Josh since it was his birthday. We enjoyed the day relaxing, packed up, and headed home. Another great cabin trip!
