UTAH...The Cabin!

On the 4th of July, Elly and I flew to Utah for one week. Right from the airport, Keri drove us straight up Big Cottonwood Canyon where my parents have a cabin. It's new to us (a few years now), but it's wicked old. I think it was built in like 1870. But, it is pretty awesome and surroundings are incredibly beautiful.

As you can see, Tim's boys, Jacob(a.k.a Spider man in training) and Dan(a.k.a Spider man and/or Joe) are always excited to visit the cabin. They absolutely loved seeing baby Elly again, especially now that she can play more. But, I think they got more than they asked for when she repeatedly scratched each of them in the face.


Madelyn and Cody were also able to visit from Texas, so we all had a blast together. There's even a little creek running right through the property, it's beautiful.


We all took a hike to Silver Lake which is only a ten minute walk. It was amazing and brought back so many memories for me of when I was a counselor at Brighton Camp. Just being up there around Brighton made me miss it so much. It's probably hard for most of you to imagine me camping and hiking each day, cooking out on an open fire and even rock repelling, but I did it every day all summer long and I loved it.

After flying and driving all day long, Elly was exhausted!
