The Cabin

Handsome Hubby had a lot of fun taking us to stay in a cabin that his Grandpa and Great Grandpa had built. He has a lot of great memories of this place and was very excited to make some with his own boys.

Here is Handsome Hubby's family minus His Dad and beautiful wife :)

The kids loved playing in the creek!

It was perfect, only a few inches deep. The Logan River was just down the hill, but it was moving a little too fast for us desert dwellers, so we stuck with the creek.

Here's cousin J

Handsome Hubby says this flag has hung here as long as he can remember. His Grandpa was a member of the military and an executive in the Boy Scouting program.

The Flag meant a lot to his Grandpa.

There is a story behind this bag. When Handsome Hubby was a Varsity Scout he went to the Sawtooth Mountains, near Mackay Idaho (High Adventure), to ride horses and fish. Handsome Hubby did not have any fishing equipment, so his Grandpa loaned him a fishing pole and this bag. Handsome Hubby used this bag to carry his bait and the fish he caught. He was very excited to see the bag at the cabin and show his kids this piece of his history.



Visiting the cabin was very special for Handsome Hubby. His grandfather passed away a few days after he got home from his mission and his grandmother a little over two years ago - it's nice to have this place with so many special memories.

Also, his uncle and cousins have been working on the cabin for several years now, fixing and remodeling - it looks spectacular!

Little side note: we rented a car for our trip (the old van's just not that reliable anymore). Originally, we had selected a Dodge Durango, but when we arrived at the pick-up counter they informed us that there were no standard size SUV's available, so they'd have to give us a free upgrade. The Expedition was great! We had all the room we needed!

A few last moments at the creek and then it was time to go!

Goodbye Cabin - we had so much fun!

P.S. OTG Boy and The Professor were both working on their Cub Scout Outdoor Activity Award and decided to take some pictures as part of one of the requirements. So, if you'd like to see their pictures of nature click HERE.
