Friday, we rented paddle boats and paddle boards and had a great time with water wars and cliff jumping and jumping off the dock and swimming and floating in tubes and playing in the sand and playing at the playground.Then a Elizabeth, Ann, Katie and I abandoned everyone at the cabin to meet Mom at Audra Dedrickson's wedding reception. It was good we went and represented but it was chaos at the cabin with all the extendeds over for dinner and Bryan cooking food and being responsible for our 6 kids, one being Julia who likes to be with Bryan and is one-year old and she gives toddler Isaac a run for his money. Luke also had a issue while we were gone too. I don't gush over Bryan very often but he really is a good dad. We ended the night with Pinochle.
Saturday was the four-wheeling day. My boys have said over and over when asked what there favorite part of the trip was and they almost always say "four-wheeling." They have their dad trying to figure out a way to go again. And then it rained while we were at the water, so that ended the water fun. We played at the cabin and some of us who didn't get to go on the first ride got to go on a little ride after the downpour. We played BINGO after dinner and Pinochle after kids went to bed.
Sunday Bryan left early for the airport so he could go to the office to work on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and then head to San Antonio to represent us for Baby Lily's baby blessing and Eli's baptism the next weekend. We went to Sacrament Meeting in Manti and then went back to the cabin and went geocacheing around the lake. The kids loved it. We facetimed with Jill and Dad while we were geocacheing, they really just did it to tell Mike happy birthday but we all got to talk. We took a big family photo at the Manti Temple. While we were waiting for everyone to get there (yes, I was the first one there), the boys walked down the sidewalk down to the fence to race or just run. Isaac is really fast and has so much energy. We played BINGO again and then Pinochle after kids went to bed.
Monday, we had breakfast and then packed up to either head to Gma's or head to Nor Cal. It was a fun weekend. It really makes me want to "vacation" with everyone more often.

Oh before I forget, thanks for writing about the cow experience at the farm, literally made me lol reading it. And, I also love vacationing with everyone, so much fun being with family. And I agree that Bryan is a great dad, and that you are an amazing mom. Mike and I definitely look up to you guys and hope to be as great as parents some day!
