The Cabin

Pleasant Valley Days 2017 
An extra beautiful weekend, the lake is full and the vegetation is gorgeous!
The weather was great too...in the low 80's all weekend with cool evenings.


We cheered our guts out for our favorite beauty queens


and high school band (GO CARBON!)


We celebrated Hazel's first birthday. This cutie is walking and starting to talk. Erik and Kelly brought up Hazel's aunt and brother and sister to the cabin to celebrate with us.  They were darling little kids, so fun to watch them experience cabin activities for the first time.


 The kiddos played their games in the cabin, we went on our hikes, we got in a few rounds of Werewolf.






Grandpa taught Miriam to ride the 4-wheeler 


and the younger cousins rode Tatum and Wyler's 4-wheeler for hours.





We cheered for the fireworks.



Darin Miriam and I went on a beautiful hike to the top of the mountain.
I got to treasure hunt for wild flowers to my hearts content, Darin found beautiful birds and wildlife, and Miriam enjoyed it all.








We made it back to go to church at the local branch. Fun to see friends from my childhood.
We ended our trip by helping Julia pull the decorations off the float.  This was a surprisingly fun endeavor. the kids pulled out staples while we chatted and spent time together on the deck.


So grateful for my parents and all the hard work they have done to give us this place in the mountains.
