Cabin Trip

The weather was beautiful for our retreat to the mountains this week-end. It's funny how we stay busy without the TV and telephone. Here some of what we did.

• Provo River Falls
  

• Hiked around Mirror lake and saw a Bald Eagle up close! (Porter's idea of heaven, the bird not the hike)
• Built Jason's beehive boxes
• Made dart guns out of PVC pipe and old magazines

• Rode in the back of a pickup truck
• Talked to the ranger
• Went to Walmart in Evanston, WY

• Wendy and the boys paddled a canoe around. See the dog in the middle? Porter and I did an animal rescue (just like Diego). As we went along, our dog, Denali, bounded along on the bank. Just after the beaver house we heard a "yip" and she was gone. After calling and getting no response, we paddled to the side and disembarked to save her from one of tunnel holes that the beaver had dug and then had collapsed. We loaded a wet dog on to the canoe and she got to ride in style back to the cabin.




• General craziness and hijinks

We are so lucky and blessed to have a cabin to go to but more importantly to have this precious time together!
