Fun in the Mountains

We went up to Johns parents cabin in the mountains on Friday. We only went for one night- John had to work on Sunday morning and Monday morning:-( We made the most of the time we had! It is always so great to go to the hills to get away from the phone, computer and the city things! We got up the mid day on Friday and went for a hike with grandma Debbi. The kids had a blast! On their property the have an old mining shaft and a stream the runs through it- with all the snow this year there is a lot of rushing water running. Grandpa Kyky (Kyle) has made little walk ways across the water in several different areas. The kids had a blast crossing them and throwing sticks in the water for our dog Aloha. There is also a make shift sauna we call it the "sweat lodge". We did not get the rocks hot or a fire started- maybe next time. After the hike we went back to the cabin and made chicken enchiladas, hung out and went to bed. We hung out on Saturday morning, went to a Rotary sale? (sale o' junk) The kids of course find treasures and there were some cool finds, but the most part...junk. Then in the mountains a nap is always calling. So we all listened and enjoyed it!!!! So quite! We grill dinner and just as we sat down to eat it started to sprinkle- we sat in the sprinkle and enjoyed dinner! The mountain neighbors were having a 40th birthday party, they had a big bouncing castle for the kids ,clowns snow cones and face painter. We missed some of the festivities but were able to meet them. Nice family with 5 kids! Here are some pics of the hike and dinner. Cant wait to go back up!
