June Cabin Trip

Friday, June 6th we went up to the cabin w/ our neighbors Dave/Melissa Thomas and Kalia/Kiam Clark and their little girl Kualena, who will be 3 in August.  Dave and Joann also came up for the fun.  We all left after work on Friday.  We brought Joann up w/ us since Dave went up after work.  We all stopped in Heber to grab a bite to eat at Arby's then continued on.  We put the kids to bed and played "Telestrations" before going to bed ourselves.

Nyles found the Swedish Fish before leaving at Grandma's house.....smart boy

It was a little cool in the morning, but since we had two pregnant women we figured we'd just let the sun warm us up instead of making them more uncomfortable.  Ironically the last time we all went up to the cabin, I was the uncomfortable pregnant one.  The guys went out early at about 6am to go fishing, while the rest of us slept in for another hour or so until 7am.

After getting the kids ready we met them over at the lake to go on the boat.  Dave decided to go back w/ Joann to the cabin while we fished some more.  The weather was perfect.  It was sunny w/ a slight breeze and felt great w/ a little shade.  We caught enough fish to keep us interested and going back for more.  After a couple hours we came back for lunch.

After lunch most everyone decided to take a nap.  Steve laid down for a few minutes and Kiam and I played a game of Blokus 3D.  After Steve got up from his nap he went outside to work on the yard.  I decided to join him and ended up mowing the law while he trimmed the edges and the trees.  We also pulled a few sagebrush in the way of the walkway.  Ironically it was fun, mostly since we were outside working together.  It definitely looked better afterwards too.

Once everyone got up from their naps, they decided to go back out and fish some more.  I decided to stay back at the cabin w/ Nyles, Melissa, and Joann.  I made tin foil dinners and brownies while they were gone.  Melissa wasn't feeling the best at this point so she wanted to just relax at the cabin (can't blame her).  Nyles kept saying "Boat, boat, grandpa, grandpa."  He enjoyed being able to go out on the deck and play though.

Getting the pineapple fish ready to BBQ

When they got back I had dinner ready.  I cut some fresh pineapple up also.  Steve decided to put some in w/ the fish they were going to BBQ as well.  The Clarks said it was fantastic!  Oh course they are Hawaiian so it's only expected ;)  We had dinner, put the kids to bed after a bath, then watched a movie called "Memphis Bell."  We were all pretty tired after that so we went to bed.

They sure loved playing w/ each other.

The next morning we went to church.  The Clarks and the Thomas' stayed behind, Melissa again wasn't feeling the best.  Nyles of course wanted to play, so we ended up going to the nursery while listening to the speakers.  We had lunch after we got back then everyone basically packed up and headed home.  We put Nyles down for a nap so we were the last ones to leave after he got up a little while later.  It sure was a fun weekend though!
