Cabin Fever

While my parents were still "on their mission" my family and the Chandlers (a neighbor family) drove out for a long week to their cabin.  We endured 13 LOOOONG hours in the car to get there.  BOY was it worth IT!!!!

My favorite place at the cabin is in the hammock.  I loved to lay there and read and sleep.  Bubba always saw this as an opportunity to come and get a snuggle.

Me and my Buddy!

Josh can't hardly take a picture without striking a pose.  I'm not exactly sure what to call this one.

Our favorite activity while we were there was to go to the river and play in the water.  This was a fun water hole that David found last year that had a rock to jump off.  All the kids were brave enough (except Bubba) to do "cannon balls".  The walk there was a bit treacherous but thankfully nobody was lost on the way.

The second day we went there we took David's "short-cut" which was across the river in two areas.  I had to carry Bubba, my bag with my camera, book, drinks and non-wetable items while I wore flip-flops.   Sarah was wearing my nice water shoes.  If you have ever walked in a river bed you know that the rocks don't provide ANY traction because they are covered with slimy moss.  Poor Bubba and I went down THREE times before we made it across even once.  My book was wet, Bubba was screaming and my pocket camera was ruined.  All in the name of ADVENTURE!!!!  When I relayed my experience to David about his short-cut, he said that he forgot to tell me that he rescinded his comment that it was a better way.

Who doesn't want a piece of this?  Back off, ladies - he's my hunk of burning love!
