Spring Break at the Cabin

So for spring break, we packed the bags (and all the groceries) and headed up to my Uncle's cabin....

(notice the almost 6 month pregnant me)

Logan is ready with his stick gun to get any bears we see.... on our family walk in the woods he was VERY nervous of approaching wildlife, as our cubscout Dallin kept pointing out all the paw prints and telling us to what animal they belong, bear, deer, coyote, squirrel, etc... Logan was not comfortable with this situation of being in the middle of the woods, with living proof in front of him that wild life could appear at any moment!

What do you do at the cabin all day, with no town/restaraunts around.... well, besides make all your own meals, and read a 360 page book in 2 days.... the boys made a fire pit by gathering stones in a circle, then made a fire every day. Oh man can boys be entertained for hours with sticks all around them to keep adding to the fire and watching them burn! Bruce and Dallin had some great alone time talks around the fire that Bruce told me later were so special to him.

while the boys were making fires... the girls were inside playing princess and Littlest Petshops.... now these are Lily's toys... but with not much else to do but join in, Ashlin and Emma were cute playing with Lily!

And even though it was SO nice to just relax, and take lots of beautiful walks, after a few days, things were getting a little boring... Good thing Aunt Chrissy showed up with lots of new treats and some fun things up her sleeve...

She brought these crazy little Styrofoam craft AIR characters you made and then watched come to life!

It was pretty funny to watch the little characters they made dance! Click below to see how:

(I am not exactly sure why the quality is so bad on that video, maybe because its from my camara and not video camara?? you get the idea though, let me know if you know why!)


We are so lucky to have family with cabins!!!
