CABIN

Okay, so i was a little camera happy this weekend... lots of fun, with way too many pictures.

My family all had this weekend planned to go up to Grandpa Lee's cabin. Last year we were all able to go up, but this year was a hard weekend. My brother Shayne's boys all are really busy with football, so they weren't able to come at all. Danny and Tash had to work so they missed out on most of the fun too. (Danny came up for a few hours on Friday before we got there) Dusty and Kelsey came and stayed the weekend with their dog Buela. Since we had such a small group, on our way up to the cabin we decided to invite our good friends, the Garners. Last min. they packed their bags and joined us Friday night!

The cabin is one of my favorite places to go in the summer, because it is beautiful, relaxing, and usually cooler. My boys love to spend time in the mountains. Add all of this with Grandma, Grandpa, and Uncle Dusty and Aunt Kelsey... They know they are in heaven.

As always, after the sun comes up in the morning it gets warm enough for a swim in the freezing river. Porter, Hunter, and Chad were the only ones willing to jump in from the bridge. Dusty and Trace taking a brake from all the tubing.
Porter loves playing with his Daddy. If Chad tells him something is cool, he is usually game. This trip they snorkeled under the bridge and saw some big fish.



Trace and Samantha playing by the river... I'm afraid this might be the beginning of a love story!!
Chad was able to sneak away a few times for some bow hunting. Most of the time Porter snuck along. They love being together!

Catching "Bowl Head" Fish. Porter said that they are called Bowl fish because they are small enough to fit in a bowl... Pretty clever!
Seriously, Trace LOVES his grandpa!! He is my dad's little shadow. If "Pa" goes outside, Trace goes outside. If Pa goes anywhere or does anything Trace follows. They are great buddies. They floated the river, looked for shooting stars, played by the river, built fires, roasted marshmallows, and played and played! Trace's Hat Show...

The only bummer of the trip were the HORNETS. They were everywhere. I've never seen so many in my life. Trace was the first to get stung. I felt so bad for him. He acted like he was so sad that they would hurt him... What did he do to them? (besides trying to catch them?...) Porter and i both got stung too, and I can't believe how much it hurt. In fact my sting is still bugging me. It made me feel even worse for both of them knowing how stinking much they hurt!


And after an exhausting weekend... Trace was pooped!
