Cabin Fun

We spent a few days at the cabin last week with my parents and packed in a lot of fun things!

My dad brought up some water guns and had the kids make a bunch of targets. Then he set up an obstacle course for them to run through and shoot all the targets! They had fun trying to get the fastest time.



The kids perfected their hula hoop skills:



On the first day the kids went exploring and found a cool "house" that had rooms for everyone and even a "flower room". They sat up there for hours drawing and playing. This is the doorway:




They also found this log that led to their secret tree house. I think it must have been something hunters used...



We went out on the lake a few times. The first time it started raining and cut our time short!


Landon enjoyed getting as dirty as he possibly could!


We went on a few hikes. The first was Cascade Springs, which was more like a walk, but really beautiful. The ranger had a scavenger hunt for us to do and the kids got Smokey the Bear whistles for completing it!






We also hiked to Silver Lake Reservoir on the horse trail. It was a longer hike (4 miles) but the kids were champs! They especially loved hiking through the stream!








Our second time at the lake was more successful!

and.....another vacation post

PARK CITY

We got home from Arizona on a Sunday, took a couple of days to do laundry, take the car in to get fixed, and attend Matt's cousins wedding. Then we were off to Park City with my family!

We had fun swimming (well, the kids did- I forgot my suit...), playing at the park, visiting Pei Thai at the farmer's market where she loaded us up with stuff, hitting the outlets for new shoes, throwing the old shoes in the "Shoe Tree", doing crafts and fun activities with Andrea, riding kiddie rides and the Alpine Coaster, watching Baby Signing Time with the little ones, and celebrating Thomas' birthday. Whew! Try to say that in one breath....










the lip's getting better...


this is all William wanted to do all day, every day

the kids thought this mannequin was so funny! Jackson had to touch it to make sure it wasn't real.
