We had fall break a couple weeks ago and decided to stay at the newly built cabin in Elba. We were one of the first ones to get to stay there! We stayed two nights, and Grandpa and Grandma came up for a night to spend some time with us; it was a lot of fun. The kids played a lot outside building their forts and playing in the pasture. We took the next morning and drove up to City of Rocks so the kids could explore and climb the rocks. It was a beautiful day and the kids loved it. We stopped at Treasure Rock and Window Arch. That was one I didn't know existed, and it did not disappoint. We got home just in time for mom and dad to pull in and roast a wienie and marshmallows in the fire pit. Then Grandpa taught Zander and Lucas how to use an axe to chop wood. They couldn't get enough of that.
We went out for ice cream for dinner in Almo. I tried their cantaloupe ice cream. Not bad, but ended up getting an orange cream cone. We got back to the cabin and ate our real dinner and then watched a slide show of pictures from mom and dad's trip to Jerusalem and Egypt. The kids got to have a sleep out in the loft except the second night Lucas got smart and slept on the bed with Hannah in their sleeping bags. The next morning we took the kids out for rides on the four wheelers and razrs. It was fun to get away for a couple days to relax and explore and take time to be with one another. We also gave Grandma her birthday gift. I told her the gift is not what was in the sack, but the time it took us all to put the gift together. She loved it.
