Family Trip

We were able to go to a cabin up north for a few days this last weekend. It was soo nice to be out of the heat and up in the mountains away from everything! (Thanks to the man who used to work with Dave who generously let us stay in their beautiful cabin!)

Our first surprise...Will lost his tooth the night we got there. It had been loose for a while and finally came out when he was sleeping. (Isn't barely 5 too young to lose a tooth?)


We saw lots of this...


This was a short hike to some indian ruins. (Our friends joined us for the last day.)


The indian ruins...(my kids keep talking about how people died there, even though I told them it was because it was a very long time ago and they got really old.)


We got about 1/2 hour into our trip and while we were waiting in some traffic, we found out that the cars were all there because there was a mudslide ahead. So we ended up taking a detour along a dirt road for over an hour, in the rain, along the rim. As obnoxious as that sounds, I didn't mind it so much because we saw tons of this...

We found this beautiful scenery along the second half of the road. (No guardrails!) Needless to say, we made it home in about twice the time, safe and sound.

I love camping!- well except for the night part:)
What a great adventure- even the detour, it makes it memorable.

Sounds fun! Savannah has a new tooth coming in behind her bottom baby teeth--I don't know what it is with our kids, i think both Jacob and Zach grew in that way, just like a shark's teeth :-)
