Cabin fun and more parties!!

BEAR RIVER LODGE
WITH
THE WIGHT'S
JULY 10-13
We as a family own the two bedroom upstairs of the first cabin and then the 2 bedroom upstairs and 1 bedroom downstairs of the second cabin. So every summer instead of our camping trips we now all get together up at the cabins to enjoy one another's company. What a grand old time!!
What an activity! The boys have discovered a cool new game to play. They get plastic spoons and then put little rocks on the spoon and then they flick the spoon to see how far they can throw the rocks. It kept them busy for hours it seemed. We just had to make a few ground rules that they couldn't hit the cabins or each other, or other people.
All of the four wheelers, we looked like a little army. We are all getting ready to go for a ride. I guess not all of us we had two new babies this year at the cabin. My sister-in law Katie and My sister-in law Kristin. So they stayed with their babies. I can honestly say I am glad it is not me anymore!

randma doing what she does best. Hanging out with a small portion of the grandkids. They were all watching the big boys (dads) play horseshoes. I think if I am not mistaken that Jon and Jason won 2 games and Drew and Tyler won 1, but I could be wrong.

SCAVENGER HUNT
Here we all are waiting for everyone to get together to start our first ever scavenger hunt. So hang on everyone and letsssssss goooooooo!!

This is the start of our scavenger hunt that Jon's sisters put together for the kids to do. It was fun watching their faces to try and figure out where they were going to be sent next.

Once we got the clue the kids had to do some sort of activity to be able to get the next clue. This is just a sampling of the pictures that I have just for the scavenger hunt. ENJOY!
Bailee got to read the next clue to tell us where to go. We had to ride the four wheelers to get to a lot of the places. We did places like the river, pool, garbage cans (not the most pleasant), pond, the wading area and the bridge to cross the river. It was a lot of fun!

This is what the prize at the end of the hunt was, grandma's big surprise box of goodies. The kids got to each pick two things from the box. This might have taken longer than the actual scavenger hunt. TOO MANY CHOICES!!
SWIMMING POOL
My little water bug just a swimmin with his daddy. What cuties they are!! The cabins just got a pool so all the kids thought that was great. It actually gave us something else to do. My opinion it needs to be a little warmer!

Hailey, Abby, Cole and Kenadee hanging out in the hot tub. The pool was only about 82 degrees so you had to keep moving to stay warm. So when the kids got cold they would go and sit in the hot tub.
This is Jon throwing Logan out of the water. The kids would stand on Jon's shoulders and he would go under water and then shoot up and send the rider flying!! Good thing that I have my new camera so that I could capture these great shots!!
Good dive Logan.
Happy Birthday Buddy!!
5 Years Old
This was Curtis's actual birthday. We seem to always be with Jon's family at the cabin over his birthday. He hasn't liked that at he's gotten older so that is why we did a big friend party for him before we left. Once we did the friend party he wanted to celebrate his birthday again at the cabin. So pretty much this kid will probably end up getting two parties for his birthday!!

He saw this underwater wakeboard when we were shopping for his cousins birthday and he wanted one. So Jon and I got this for him he was so excited to try it in the pool. Too bad that it was Sunday! He had to wait till he got home.
He loves to open presents!! That is all he talked about since the moment he woke up!
