Vacation!

Well, it's summer, so we're off in Southern Utah again! We've had so much fun over the last couple of weeks, so I thought I'd post a smattering of photos (these are from Kirk and my dad--thanks, guys!) I still need to collect some, so this is just a sample.

Last week, we headed down to the cabin. We got to caravan with Mike's brother's family. On the way, we stopped to see Kirk's awesome art studio (it keeps getting cooler and cooler!), then continued on to the cabin, where we stayed and played together for a couple of days. (We also got to take some more furniture for the cabin in Kirk's trailer. He's so nice to have brought that for us!) We had so much fun! While we were there, Mike and Kirk took the little boys to Bryce Canyon.

We also got to take everyone to Mammoth Cave just before they headed home.

Our family stayed and enjoyed our next set of visitors: my sister, her family, and our dad came up next for the weekend! We played, the kids 4-wheeled with Uncle Mike, we relaxed, we made cotton candy together (thanks, Care!), and the kids took another trip to Mammoth Cave (it's a favorite!). It was great fun.

They headed back home, (and Mike also went home to work for a week,) but the kids and I were able to go meet them for an awesome feast at my dad's on Monday. We visited with them as well as my grandpa, my aunt and her friend, and my uncle and aunt!

We went back to the cabin that night to stay for a few more days. We read, played games, watched movies, did a little cabin maintenance, and viewed LOTS of wildlife (deer outside our window, woodpeckers, squirrels, roadrunners, chipmunks, jackrabbits, more deer...).

It's Thursday, now, and we're back in St. George for a weekend of visiting, swimming, and partying with family before going home. What a wonderful couple of weeks! I love summer! (Thanks to my darling husband Mike for making it possible! Love you!)
