Pioneer Day Weekend

It's always been a tradition to spend most summer holidays at our families cabin, but with the flooding, this is the first weekend we were able to go to the cabin.
We stayed up late playing games, and got up early and had a yummy breakfast.


After breakfast, before the Turners got to the cabin, we decided to go hike Red Rock with all the kids. The kids had a lot of fun, and didn't even really notice that we were being eaten alive by mosquitoes, lol. Once the trail got to steep for the small kids, we decided to turn back. My dad, Mystery, and Faith decided to continue, and about 5 minutes after we had separated we heard the girls screaming. Ryan, Adam and Jonathan ran to find that they had disturbed a bee hive, and they were all getting stung. Needless to say they got out of there fast, but with some wounds.


We headed back to the cabin to find the Turners had arrived. Even though the weather was a bit rainy and cold, we couldn't make a trip to the cabin and not get in the river. It was ICE COLD, so Ryan was the lucky one between us to get in the river with Elizabeth. Although, when it was her turn to ride down on Ryan's lap, the tube flipped and she was fully emerged by the ice water. She was NOT a happy camper. She was super scared of the river after that, but I didn't want her to be scared. We practically forced her to go down the river again to show her it wasn't scary, and I'm glad we did, cause she had fun.


After we all got warmed up from being in the river, we played some Frisbee and visited, and then got ready for dinner. We celebrated Ryan's birthday while we were there. Kennedy and Seth even sang Happy Birthday to him in German. It was a nice ended to a fun filled weekend.


oh, I almost forget to mention that we caught a water snake and my dad thought it was a must that Scarlett got to pet it.
