Cabin Sweet Cabin

We spent our Labor Day at my parents cabin up Fairview Canyon.  We enjoyed the beautiful drive through Spanish Fork Canyon where the mountains were sprinkled with red and orange leaves among the beautiful green pines.

This photo doesn't do it justice.  I was sitting in the backseat between two little guys and this was the best photo that I could take through the window.

These guys are my everything!

When we arrived the crew that had stayed the weekend were just finishing up breakfast.  Lucky for us there was enough delicious dutch oven breakfast left for us to have some!  After breakfast the girls (and Luke) took off for a morning walk to enjoy the crisp mountain air.

After the walk we headed down to the zipline.  Our little independent Lukie was testing out his walking skills on the uneven ground.

The Zipline is at the Fowles cabin, just down the road.  You have to go up this rickety little staircase, to the "balcony" to get to the zipline platform.

Those of us who were brave enough scampered out, laced our legs through the rope and took the leap of faith!

Griffin even went on Dad's lap and his commentary on the way down went something like this, "I'm scared, I'm ok, it's fun, it's cool, it's scary..." just like that, one right after the other.  I wish I could have seen his face.  I wonder if his eyes were even open?

And the award for the best dismount goes to-- Miles Beck!

When he wasn't busy eating rocks, sticks and dirt, Luke got his thrills from the swing on the porch of the cabin.  Grandpa was gracious enough to push him and keep him entertained for about 5 minutes!

My boys loved playing upstairs in the loft.  They played with this little cabin, climbed in the window and turned the light on and off 100 times.

After lunch we headed out with our little family for a ranger ride.  

This guy was so exhausted from his eventful morning and afternoon that he fell asleep on my lap.  I couldn't believe it considering that this is the noisiest and bumpiest mode of transportation around!

You can't go to the cabin this time of year without running into a few sheep.

Nothing like potty-training in the wild!

The nap didn't last long.  

Well, it was all fun and games until somebody got hurt.  Marc got a migraine on our way back to the cabin so we had to head home.  Darn those migraines!  They have interrupted many a family outing.  Poor guy just can't relax without getting sick.  

We really had a great time and I loved watching the boys play and enjoy the outdoors.  Thanks Mom and Dad for having such an amazing place for us to get away!  We can't wait to come again, hopefully before the snow falls!
