Labor Day weekend

The end of summer is always sad. But is alway fun to have one last Weekend away. Our friends the Smith's invited us up to their cabin in the most spectacular place on earth. The big excitement for our kids was the new dirt bike Brett bought them. Brett has searched high and low for just the right dirt bike for our kids and decided on a HONDA xrf 100 and I am not sure who was more excited the kids or the dad. The weekend was just beautiful, the most amazing weather you can ask for in Utah. We ate like kings, dutch oven potatoes, tri tip, corn on the cobb, peach cobbler!!! The kids were on 4 wheelers non-stop and took every opportunity to get as dirty as possible. We played so many fun games with the kids and laughed our heads off, phase 10, toss up, solitaire, and ate candy till we were all sick. Sleeping was my favorite part of the weekend, listening to the creek, cool air, DARK, DARK, DARK.... a million stars in the sky. Mason even slept in a tent the whole night and Sage and Justine slept on the deck. Even more exciting than all that was the MAMA MOOSE and her TWINS. Up close and personal. Great weekend with great friends!

Hello, were did our summer go?
Sage is in her last year of Jr. High and Max is in 5th Grade, Mason is in 4th. A little bitter sweet for me, I am welcoming getting back to earily bed times and cooler weather, a little more of a routine. The bitter part for me, is that summer goes so fast it doesnt seem like we can fit in all the weekends away, pool days, tennis with friends, lazy afternoons, lemonade stands, camping, hiking, 4 wheeling, beach trips, lake trips, cabin trips, before they all grow up... Hope that time slows down a little...
