Labor Day Weekend at the Colorado cabin



Another fun weekend at the Colorado cabin with our family.  We were all there but Kolton and Jensen.  They had to work.  We missed them :(

Here are a bunch of pictures showing all the fun we had!!


The little boys by the Ivins cabin just exploring!!







Filling up the water tanks.  The water from the creek comes to us brown but we appreciate having water to use!!






Just "Hanging out"!







Getting ready to go fishing.












                                                  Taking it easy with little Hayzlie


If you look close you can see a zip line above the reservoir.  Most of those who came down the zip line were able to drop in the reservoir and had a fun but uneventful experience.


Noelle's experience wasn't so uneventful.  She didn't want to drop into the water and she came down the line so fast that she totally knocked Matt and Taylor out of the way at the end.  They were there to catch her so she didn't run into the pole at the end of the line.  She didn't run into the pole but she ended up on her back on the ground with the wire having sliced her forehead open.  Scary for a few minutes!!

                                             

Crawdads













Horses








Playing in the dirt and playing games!!


                                                                  Riding the horses again!!



                     Dinner at the Grover's cabin with about 100 people!!!

County Fair Time

When it's summer it must be time to get the animals ready for the fair.  The pigs and the kids walk around "The Field".  They need their exercise (the pigs and the kids)!




This little cowboy is riding the Ivins' donkey.

 Time to take the animals to the fair grounds.  This little cowgirl is riding her pig!!

                                        Getting the pigs ready.  Bath time!

Cohen did an awesome job showing his pig.  He and the pig did well.

                                           Livvy gets her pig ready for the show.

                                        They also did a good job!!


This is Camryn and her 2nd Reserve Champion steer.  Awesome!!!



                                           Everyone loves the fair!!!!



4th of July 2014

Have I ever mentioned that the 4th of July celebration in Blanding is amazing?  The town is bursting at the seams with people, (everyone comes "home" for the 4th) and the day is full of fun activities. 
We start off the day with the 5K run!! It's a ten year long tradition for Jed and I. 



And, of course we love it that so many of our family gathers for the celebration.





After a long day of watching the parade and attending the carnival and games, it is time for the concert and fireworks at the park.

                          A beautiful sunset helped to set the mood for the fireworks this year!

Another Blanding 4th of July celebration is history.  The memories will last forever!
