Cabin weekend

We had another FUN weekend at the cabin. The weather was wonderful...even a little bit on the hot side on Sunday. :) We got up there on Friday night and had time to actually make supper there instead of leaving late and having to pick something up. Then, we drove to the other side of the mountain to see our neighbors from across the street that were camping over there. Hailey is really good friends with their daughter Crystal and we have gotten to know them too. We spent time over there....around the fire, playing, having s'mores, etc. It was a nice night...but a late one too. Both kids fell asleep on the way back to the cabin!!

Saturday morning we got up, had our usual big breakfast, and then went back over to the other side of the mountain to go fishing at Greenough (or the kids call it "Green-oh"). We would have usually went to Wild Bill, but that is still closed because of the fire. We had to "hike" about 1/4 mile to get there...too much for Ryan, but fine for Hailey, but they had so much fun when we were there. Crystal and her family was there, so that occupied Hailey and Ryan some too. They did do some fishing, but mostly playing. AND, they both ended up playing in the water...it was SO COLD but they didn't care. Both were running around in their underware before too long ;) After fishing, we stopped back at the camper before going back to the cabin for lunch and naps! :)

Here are some pictures from Greenough : walking up the path to the lake ; Ryan in the water and not too wet yet ; cute one of Hailey (she is standing in the water) ; Crystal, Hailey, Ryan and Thomas watching Hailey get the first fish ; Ryan with one of his fish ; WET Ryan ; Ryan fishing by the edge of the water.



On the way back to the cabin we did get a chance to see this MONSTER BUCK! Watch out...if Chris has any say in it, you will be on our wall! :) He was only 1/4 - 1/2 mile from the cabin so Chris is really on the look out now! :)

We ended Saturday night with a fire at the cabin. The kids enjoyed roasting smokies (Ryan) and marshmallows (Hailey).



On Sunday, Doug & Doran came up to spend the day with us. Most of day was spend hauling wood to get ready for winter...and Ryan was right there helping too!! And, Hailey had a "water stand." As you can see from her sign...prices went DOWN! ONE PENNY, but you had to reuse your cup and didn't get too much. :) She made about a dollar off of us and was so excited. Doran and I did take the kids in town to see the animals at the zoo and then it was time to get home. Busy weekend, but we loved every minute of it! :)

Looks like a VERY fun weekend! I love the fishing trip and the kids ending up in the water.

Hey Ryan did you get your pants wet in the water fishing???? That's a pretty big fish you caught. Did you eat it??? Boy does Crystal look like Emily from the back. Chris, Can you hunt deer in your neighborhood?? Here I thought you might have seen Mike and her baby moose. Have you seen them at all lately? Sounds like a nice weekend. Nice picture of Hailey too. Love Grandma aka Mom
