Fall break at the cabin!

When we found out that Weston’s parents and Aunt Lorna would be at the cabin while the kids were on Fall break we jumped at the chance to get out of the heat for a bit, and I was so excited to see the fall colors. The weather was colder than we expected (we even had snow!) and we were a bit unprepared, but we still made the most of it. We had one glorious day that was sunny and 65, and I soaked in the crisp air and the smells of the mountain all that I could. I will be thinking fondly of our days up there while the temps hover near 100 degrees here this weekend.

^^Aunt Lorna is the best baby holder.

^^Little man was getting so frustrated that he couldn’t keep up with his big brothers.

^^This might be my new favorite picture of these two. *heart melted*

^^This is what a typical family photo looks like. Ha!

^^We spotted this guy outside our kitchen window one morning.

^^Of course we had to stop at Cedar Breaks on our way down the mountain.

Church Campout

Last week was our ward campout up on Mt. Lemmon. We are so lucky that after only an hour drive, we can enjoy the cooler temps on this beautiful mountain. We all had a blast (especially the kids) even though we got rained on. It was wet and muddy, but at least we got through dinner and s’mores before it really came down. All of the kids worked on several elaborate forts and the older boys built a tree swing. The next morning we all enjoyed a big pancake breakfast and the kids built mudpies and played with earthworms in their p.j.’s. Only while we are camping right? I sure do love our ward family!
