:: Kitchen Family Cabin ::
We had an absolute blast! A weekend is not enough time up there.
Cohen found the pots and pans right away and loved making so much noise...
He also loved the fire pole that only big kids can slide down from the upstairs to the main floor. (maybe in a few years buddy!)
We climbed the rock slide that's just across the road from the cabin...
The boys built a MASSIVE bonfire (wish I had a pic) at the top of the rock slide where we had a fireside and made s'mores and "flaming star mallows" (which are a secret treat)...
We shot guns...
(what a good looking group of men)...
One of the most fun things at the cabin is THIS....THE ROPE SWING!
I'm pretty sure the pictures explain themselves...
Nana K
Aunt Jenna
Brock
Me getting ready
soon-to-be Uncle Jade
We had some relaxing time inside. Cohen LOVED exploring inside.
Went on a few nature walks...
Me & Co :: Tiffy :: Jenn :: Bailey
The LOVE BIRDS
Story time: so we found this pretty meadow where we took the pic above...Papa Todd had this "brilliant" idea that we should cross this little river, hike up this trail up the mountain side, and that would cut our trip back to the cabin in half. BAD IDEA, but probably my best memory of the trip. This river was NOT little. Most of us got our shoes and pants soaked (thanks Jade for saving me) and the mountain side was STRAIGHT up, NO trail, scratchy bushes, and Brock carried Co the whole time. It was HILARIOUS! What a workout, and such a great memory.
Thanks Papa Todd!
A part of the river that wasn't raging...
Up the mountain side...
VICTORY! We all made it to the top alive.
Co was pretty happy to be done with that hike.
We drove to Kamus (15 mins from cabin) to watch Uncle Matt throw in the nation softball throw finals...
He took 1st place! Way to go Matt Dee!!
Sunday morning we got up at the crack of dawn and packed up and left to make it to Scottie's mission homecoming an Springville.
Cohen found these boys that thought he was so funny so Cohen LOVED them.
Socializing at the luncheon. Love you Jenna.

Ha ha ha I LOVE that pictures of Sherry on the swing! There is sheer terror in her face. And I have very vivid memories of Todd taking us on a "1 mile" hike that turned into 8! Sounds so much fun! What a wonderful family.
