Fun at the cabin

We borrowed a Polaris Ranger for the weekend and I took Tammy, Tammy's friend Sara and her daughter and my mom out for a ride on Friday.  Only problem is we weren't on the right trail.  We ended up on a VERY narrow, VERY rutted trail in the RAIN and a little bit of HAIL.

Talk about fun!!!!

BIG ruts.

This is at the best point of the trail.

Sara and Brooke...
Brooke is the one that told me to keep going :)

No cover on the back seat.
What great sports!

We spent Saturday at the beach with a rented boat.

Shea and Kelsey

not sure who is hanging on for dear life... but if it was me,
I was having a blast!

Robert diving

Sunday Greg, Tammy, Robert and I decided to go for a Sunday drive.
MY KIND OF SUNDAY DRIVE!

The boys thinking they know how to drive.

The girls then did the honors.

Beautiful scenery.
sweet kiss.

The cabin....

We spent our first weekend up in Bear Lake over Labor Day.

Beautiful weather.

Fabulous time.

Sunrise looking from the deck.

Beautiful day for boating

Looking up into the kids space from the kitchen
snowflake quilt... preparatory for a very snowy winter :)
getting snowed in sounds heavenly to me!

Kitchen with no dishwasher.
We actually have to wash our dishes.
It's a crazy world at the cabin.

Meet SLAWCAB.   

(that's short for Sawyer and Law Cabin at Bear Lake)

I think we need a better name, but this will have to do for now.  We just purchased this slightly dated 1979 cabin up in Bear Lake.  We are headed up this weekend for our first SLAWCAB par-tay so I'll take more pictures.  We definitely want the "before" photos.... even though the "after"might take a few years :)   

a couple of firsts.....

First day of 8th Grade for my baby.

(mom had my camera in AK so poor-quality phone pictures will have to do)

First day of my 3rd born's last year of high school.

Happy Senior Year!!

Coral Baja in San Jose del Cabo - home sweet home for our week in Mexico

 

 

Nacho Libre!

Squish the Shea.

Medono Beach - Lover's Beach

 

I thought Cabo would be tropical... but it is VERY desert.

Once you get away from the beach - it is dry and ugly.

 

Locals are always trying to sell something.

"something you don't need, my friend"

Braden playing in the surf

 We took a water taxi over to Lover's Beach to snorkel and play

...and get sunburned of course.
