Cabin Adventures

Well, I had a great weekend at the cabin. It was so weird on Friday to think I could have just still be sitting in my desk at my office but instead I was up in the mountains in the middle of nowhere with no cell phone coverage, TV, electricity, or even plumbing. I always love being up there. It's such a magical place for me.

Here's a deer that was as close to the cabin as I'd ever seen one. I still get as excited to see deer as I used to as a little girl.


We played tons of card games and board games. I love how Josh holds his cards. In a big jumble. I was teasing him about it and he said "well, I can see all of them." And I guess that's the point.


Apparently when Ella takes a nap she rolls up like a little potato bug. It was so cute!

We spent a ton of time on Friday and Saturday playing Sardines. I had never heard of it before but it's hide and seek with a little twist. One person hides and everyone else splits up to go look for them. When you find the person that's hiding, you hide with them, until everyone has found the hiding spot. It was seriously so much fun. The boundaries were a pretty big radius around the cabin. The possibilities were endless.

This was probably the best hiding spot. Brandon, Josh, and my dad walked right past them and didn't see them. Oh, it was hilarious.

Hiding in the shed...

My parents are so cute!

I normally would have been freaked out to get down on the ground or hide right in the bushes because I know there are so many spiders and bugs everywhere, but this game was worth it! We laid flat down on the ground, hid in all sorts of bushes, and even underneath the cabin and I survived. We will definitely be playing this game again in the future!

We didn't have running water or lights but it was still fun to be up there! Can't wait to go back. Oh, the cabin is in Fairview Canyon. I think it was Megan that asked.
