Weekend Trip to the Homer Cabin

This past weekend we went to the Homer family cabin in Woodland (near Kamas). We always have a wonderful time there with family. We were the first to arrive. Adam got the fire started, Joseph played in the dirt, Grace did her own Grace thing (which is usually a ridiculously cute game of make believe) and Ella talked on the phone to my dad, Pappaw. Everyone did what they love to do! Everyone else arrived shortly after. We got settled, cooked our foil dinners and then made smores. Looks like a happy bunch to me.
Gracie's foil dinner sat nearly untouched but she sure loved the smores. Who wants carrots and potatoes when there are marshmallows and chocolate?
We put the four older girl to bed all together in the king size bed so the adults could have a game night. Ella and Grace were excited for Uncle Randy to tell stories. They are seriously into bedtime stories. Notice three of the four are sleeping in big shirts. Not because we forgot to bring pajamas but because its the cool thing to sleep in a "cabin shirt".
The next morning after breakfast Randy took some of the kids fishing in a nearby pond then we played on the golf cars. Randy sells golf cars for Intermountain Golf Car. If anyone wants a golf car anything, Randy is your guy. Randy always brings a car or two to family outings and they are always a huge hit.

Stephanie, Abigail and Grace were loving it.

Then it was off to the creek to cool off. This is all run off water so it is COLD. Ella got brave enough to stick her bum in but that was it. Ella was wearing her Disney Princess shirt but it is way too special to get wet in the creek so off it came.
This is as close as Joe would get. He sat and threw rocks into the creek for the longest time while Grandpa kept a watchful eye on him. Joseph isn't much for shirts lately. If I say anything about water or swimming to him, the shirt and shoes come off immediately. I have managed to get him to keep his pants on. That's something. Right?
Here is the manliest, man of all. Adam was the first to get "all the way" into the the cold water. He loves it. I think I'll have this picture blown up and framed for our home.
We had, and always have, such a fun time at the Homer cabin. Thank you Homers everywhere for sharing with us. We were only there 24 hours but our kids will talk about that 24 hours for weeks to come.

I've got about a million more pics from this weekend. I'll see if I can figure out how to make a slide show and put them all on. But that will have to wait for tomorrow.
