Fun around the cabin

It was fun to be at the cabin. We enjoyed archery, walks to the river, a fire in the fire pit with making smores and hiking to the top of the mountain behind the cabin. We visited Grandma Jean and had a yummy meal ordered in of Tacos, Pizza with green chili on it and sopapillas. The kids loved the dog and hanging out and visiting. We were so happy to see her! We saw beautiful clouds and a great sunset on the way home. On Thursday Emmy and I hiked to the meadow We layed in the grass and smelled the trees that have the scent of vanilla on their bark. We made it in such good time and liked it, we hiked to the second meadow where we saw a wild turkey and there was blue green grass that I loved. Emmy and I saw a fawn so small and cute run away from us. We were surprised to hear my phone notify us that there was cell coverage at the top of the mountain. Even though there was no interent, we had great family time together. The kids helped with preparing and cleaning up meals and for the most part, they all got along very well together.

Clouds and Scenery on the Way

Utah to Colorado was beautiful. We took a route that was deferent from our usual trek to the cabin through Gunnison and Blue Mesa Reservoir. This time we passed through Moab and Durango and through Pagosa Springs

Fourth with the Family

WE celebrated the fourth of July early it Rah Rah and Papa and some extended family in their back yard on the fourth. We watched fireworks and ate some yummy dessert. It was the first year Spencer came out and watched. I guess the sound of the aerial fireworks didn't bother him this year and he wanted to be with all of us. Celia was sure cute sitting by the other cousins; Carson, Tate and Holly.
The Next day we traveled to Utah for the fourth and the Culdesac of Fire with more Davis' The sunset was great and the entertainment was even better. The little ones chased after parachutes, we heard and saw aerial fireworks( probably illegal) on all sides of us. Mason and Joseph got to light some off and of course there were poppers and sparklers. Lance and Dawn's neighbors made caramel popcorn and Spencer sure loved his spot which was a reclining camp chair. Spencer loved Utah so Much. He was emotional after we left. He really wanted to stay and had a great time. The games we great, and Taylor getting baptized was a wonderful thing. We enjoyed a luncheon after that had plenty of desserts and chips, hehe. Dawn and I went out to a great drink store and got wonderful slushies'. It was great to have girl time again with my "sister". Dawn introduced me to Murices where they sell tall jeans.I got a pair and love the length! I also got a lesson on snap chatting, it was fun.

Warped Tour With My Daughter

With Great Anticipation Emmy was able to go to Van's Warp Tour 2014 in nearby Wheatland, Ca. It seemed to be just another chance to see Yellowcard to me, but to Emmy it was the Disneyland of concerts. I caravanned with leading Emmy to the venue. I got my return ( I am a parent)bracelet to come back later. I took a picture with the kids and got a free poster. I was glad to come back and see Yellowcard end out the day oh and feed the hungry kiddos. Again, Emmy was able to meet the band and be near the front of the concert. There was some crowd surfing, but luckily no mosh pits. It was nice out so that made it bearable to be crunched together in the crowd as we watched. I love that Andrew and Kaitlyn accommodated Emmy and each other on which bands took what priority and they were able to see the bands they liked. Kaitlyn did great meeting "We are the In Crowd". She was proud of herself for not squealing or screaming out loud with excitement. A week later, I asked Emmy if she was still thinking and reminiscing of Warp tour and she said "maybe". I am happy for her and that I was able to see a bit of it and feel her excitement for live entertainment.
