Family vacay

Spencer's parents rented a cabin just outside of Zion National Park last week so we all packed up way too much stuff and headed into the mountains. After a drive through Zion to get to the cabin, we arrived at what should really be called a "mountain home".

5 bedrooms, a gigantic deck, hot tub and air conditioning all constitute that this place is not merely a cabin. It's my kind of place though.

We had alot of fun just hanging out at the house and taking our nightly family walks. We ate good, slept good and played lots of games. I made a smores platter every night while we played cards, speed scrabble and trivial pursuit. And we'd get in the hot tub at night after all the kids were in bed. And there was guitar hero, of course.



Our last day there, Spencer's parents rented a 6 seater rhino and took my nephews riding around the mountains. And later all the guys and little boys ziplined, climbed the rock wall and did the trampoline bungee over at the Zion Ponderosa resort near where we stayed.

It was a relaxing and fun trip for us. We are really grateful for Spencer's parents generosity and sharing this vacation with the rest of us.

In other news, Sawyer recently got his first tooth! I keep trying to get a good picture of his new smile, but it's been quite a challenge.

Looks and sounds awesome.
Doesn't it just make you want to live the simple life. I love vacations! Why can't that be everyday life?
