The Cabin

We went to the cabin in Mayfield for the weekend of the 4th of July. It is always so much fun. I tend to get a little worried about the boys running away and not getting enough sleep and being onery but it was a lot of fun this year. I was debateing whether I should put a bell on Paxton so I could hear were he was at all times, like the sheep! The kids all slept really well, I didn't lose Paxton or Ryder, and Conner is old enough to just run and play all day long with all the cousins. Mark spent Thursday, Friday and Saturday morning at Scout camp and then came up to the cabin Saturday afternoon.

We went up to the fish pond an Conner caught 2 fish. Thanks to Jared and Carson for letting us borrow the fishing pole. Conner was so excited and proud of the 2 little fish he caught.

Paxton and Ryder could spend all day throwing rocks into water.

Mark and I and the little boys went on a ride with Roger, Elayne, Jason and my dad. We had to figure out how to make it through this "puddle."

We all made it through safely but it was pretty deep. The water actually came to the top of the four wheelers tires.

4th of July

We spent the 4th of July up at the cabin. I was so excited that Mark was able to get off of work to go, because there was no way I was going with the boys by myself. We had a lot of fun. We had a hot dog roast, rode 4 wheelers and the dune buggy, the kids got to practice riding the new little 4 wheelers down on the flats, and crammed everyone in the back of grandpa's truck to go for a ride. It was a lot of fun and it was fun to see my family and cousins that I haven't seen in a long time.

There is a little fort up here, and the kids love to play up in it. Here are a couple of the coming down from it.

My funny boys!

This is where Paxton spent most of his time, throwing rocks into the big mud hole.

This is a tradition that we have, carving your name on a tree the first time you were at the cabin. Here are the boy's trees and we carved one for Ryder this year. It is fun to see how they change. We had Conner take a picture of Mark's and my tree but it didn't turn out very well.

This is the whole gang that was at the cabin this year, minus Mike and Stacie's family that came up a little later that day.
