Cousin Fun

The "Guys" on the hammock....eating of course!
Spencer, Nathan, Taylor, Stafford, Chad & Sawyer. All good friends!
Adam in his "Woody" outfit. What a character!
Ricky loading his potato cannon. He build this himself & it would shoot whole potatoes clear over to the island from our front yard! The boys had a great time with it and they went through about 20 lbs of potatoes. Wonder if moose eat potatoes?
I loved this picture of the kids on the fence in the big pasture just as the sun was setting. We had had a wonderful day and they were all dirty and tired, but VERY HAPPY! (Rachel, Lauren, Emma, Gracie, Sydney, & Dallin)

Fun at the Swing (after Church)

Rick and Donna and their children stayed up for Sunday, along with Brad , and Chad and me. We went to Church at the Carlson/White cabin and it was wonderful. There were about 100 people there! Dr. Sharp conducted and Brad played the piano. It was a testimony meeting and the Spirit was very strong.
Afterwards we walked up to the Big Swing, because it is right by that cabin and let the girls swing. They looked so darling in the pioneer dresses Donna had made for them. She also made bonnets and aprons, but they did not wear those to church.

Brad and Rick swinging Abby.

Abby & Gracie in their dresses....aren't they cute?!


You are too big, Brad! That evening we all went home. It was hard to leave that beautiful place, but we are grateful we have it and WE WILL BE BACK!

Cabin 2007

Our first week at the cabin was June 4-10. I was in Burley for the first part of the week, but the weather was really cold and rainy, so no one went up until Thursday. It was still rather cold that day, but Friday and Saturday were nice. Everyone eventually came up (except Brian & Sarah and Madison, of course BOO HOO, but we will hopefully have many, many more wonderful family times in that beautiful place with all of us)
