Cabin Fever

Last Friday and Saturday we were able to spend some time up in the beautiful mountains at a cabin that belongs to one of our friend's aunt and uncle. It is such a great place to be. It's not too far from where we live, but far enough to be away from everything. It was especially nice to be away from the 100 degree heat. It was 15-20 degrees cooler up in the mountains. Besides the beautiful scenery and laid back pace, it's fun to be with good friends. Darrell has had these friends for years, and they were gracious enough to welcome me into their circle when we got married.





It was great just to sit back, relax, play games and nap.





Tyler loved being up in the mountains also.









The weekend wouldn't have been complete without a hot dog roast. Later we roasted marshmallows and had S'mores. I love S'mores!



It's traditional to sleep out on the deck under the stars. Tyler and I stayed inside the cabin, but I slept on a couch next to the big front window and I was able to take in the stars at night. It's amazing how many stars there are when you get away from the city lights.





Tyler slept really well on the floor. Here he is in a blanket sleeper and the ever-present burp rag. It kind of makes him look like a butterfly or dragonfly.



Around 2:30 a.m. I heard him stirring. I looked over to see he had squirmed his way off the blanket. I put him back on the blanket and he slept until the sun came over the mountain--around 6:00 a.m. He was kind-of cold then, so I fed him and then put him in my sleeping bag with me until he warmed up. Then I made a "baby burrito" out of him and he slept for another couple hours.





Darrell, Tyler and I walked down to the Provo River. Tyler loved hanging out in the baby back pack. He even fell asleep for a little while.





We can't wait to go back again next year.
