Friday, September 3 - Sunday, September 5, 2010
We try to head to the cabin every Labor Day weekend. This year Alexis brought her friend Shae, to keep her from boredom. We left after school on Friday, stopping in St. George for a little picnic at the park.
Saturday we committed to work on the rocky road that leads up to the cabin for Grandma Hein. It was a very long hour and I lost a little skin off my hand in the process. After our time was up, Grandma Jenkins rewarded us with a trip to the store to get raspberry chocolate ice cream.
That afternoon we threw the kids in the back of Grandpa's truck and headed up to the pond behind the cabin. This involved some four wheeling that caused Seth and Cam to get into the cab of the truck midway through the ride. Lex and Shae toughed it out.
We left Grandpa to fish, while we walked down to a beaver pond. Dave threw some rocks in the pond as we walked off, apparently scaring off the fish. Grandpa decided to have a little payback. When we got back from the beaver pond, Grandpa and his truck were gone. Everyone was so mad. Cam kept calling Grandpa a jerk. When we started walking toward the cabin, we found his truck just down the road and saw that Grandpa had been watching us with his binoculars. Very funny!
On Sunday, we went to church, then celebrated Alexis' Adoption Day with tons of chocolate chip pancakes, her favorite. Later we went to walk around in the stream that feeds into the lake. I promised the kids a treat if they made it all the way across the stream. They all did it.
We walked down further and Lex and Shae wanted to climb on the logs across the stream. This ended up involving walking through the water in their shoes. Then on the way back, everyone except Dave and Cam stepped in mud and we had to wash out our shoes when we got back to the cabin.
That night we played games - Charades, the Indian Game, and Scum and had very runny homemade ice cream. It still tasted pretty good.
