Cabin Adventures for Labor Day

Hyner View: one of the best lookout locations up there. It is also where hang gliders take off from. The hang gliders were ready that day, but while we were there the air wasn't moving much so they waited.
The boys exploring nature. Playing barefoot in the grass despite the day before having to find a stick and throw a snake down the hill from where they were playing.
Later the whole family looking for salamanders. We found a couple. The kids loved them and asked all kinds of questions, like "Why are they so flat? Is it because they live under rocks and the rocks smoosh them?"
Travis giddy as only he can be about having shot three arrows at the same time quite well from Wyatt's little bow.
His and her toilets. The wave of the future in bathrooming needs. This is an outhouse. And our cabin outhouse has always been two seaters. I don't know why, maybe because as kids we were always terrified to go out there by ourselves. The solution: make room for two, the buddy system and all that.
The view from the cabin door. Nothingness just the way we like it. Have you ever seen anything so beautiful.
The front of the cabin. Rustic elegance at it's best.
Wyatt honing his gun skills.
Issac having the time of his life. He could not pull the trigger fast enough.
Bella is getting quite good with a gun. She strives for accuracy already. More than that she loves having "Daddy time".
It was such a good vacation and nice Labor Day. Labor Day this year was also Kody's birthday. More on that later though.

Yea for cabin fun. Boo for snakes. I hate snakes. Love the pic of Isaac to the side where he's grabbing at the camera, very cute.

I'm glad you guys had a good time. We love it up there. We've been lucky enough to see the hang gliders take off, its pretty cool. We missed you too on Monday, we'll have to do another BBQ soon.

Looks like lots of fun! I must say that is, by far, the nicest outhouse I have ever seen!! Hopefully it smelled as good as it looked! :)
