The Beckstrand Cabin

Another fun weekend for our little family. We went to Diamond Mountain, in Vernal to grandpa/ma's Beckstrand's NEW cabin. It was so fun to be able to get away with the Beckstrand family to the mountains. We enjoyed watching our parents get excited to hang pictures and furnish their cabin, but the best is they finally have a place of their own to escape to. We had fun spending the time with The Bell's, The Burningham's, and the Byrd's. We missed those family members who were unable to come. The weather was cold but we still enjoyed the outdoor activities. Thanks Grandpa/ma for the fun weekend and many more enjoyable get-a-ways. We love you. Kaelyn spent most of the time holding her new cousin Peyton Burningham. Kae said to me "I'm the baby's big sister/cousin" She was such a mother-hen. Didn't care to play too much with everyone, just wanted to sit and hold the baby. Thanks Wendy for being so patient with Kae, and letting her hold Peyton.

Camping at Horseshoe Springs

Finally after 3 weeks of attempting to go camping we were finally able to get away. We went with our neighbors The Drapers. The girls were so excited to sleep in the camper. The trip was fun, dusty, and lots of bugs. Kaelyn said that the funniest time of the trip was "going up and down the hills, like a roller coster." Kelsie funniest part of the trip was everything. Our camper and camp site. Kaelyn, Mason and Kelsie overlooking Horseshoe springs. Roasting Marshmellows.
We went for a ride and picnic up the mountain.
The kids loved going over this little hill, they kept asking Brant to "Do it again."
