Trip to a cabin for the 4 th of July

Our cute little cabin on the top of the mountain 

My favorite thing of all time is to rent a cabin and spend time in nature. We went to the big cottonwood canyon on the 4 th of July.

The tired gang.

We hiked all day.

 

 A beaver cut this tree down

This little girl was running everywhere.

And being packed

 

The big cottonwood canyon is very beautiful. There is a lake on the top of the mountains and great trails. 

My husband says we finally got a family picture. That's why I need a photographer folks. 

We had a little party with a Boss cake, burgers and smore's

How was your 4 th of July?

Our trip to St George

We spent 2 days in St George last week-end. It is 6 hours from Salt lake city and 2 hours from Las Vegas.

Some pics from my cell phone of the trip:

It was Spring over there with flowers blooming everywhere. Such a fun little trip.

Then we come home to Salt lake city and it snows...

 Do you have anything planned for spring break?

Dinosaurs in Utah

We stopped at the dinosaur tracks museum. The tracks are amazing. They explain how they were preserved in the mud. It used to be a lake and the tracks were made in the mud. Then covered with sand and preserved.

They are still working and taking the layers out...Amazing!

Close to Salt Lake City. At Thanksgiving point. We have the best Dinosaur museum in the States. A lot of dinosaurs walked in Utah....

Hubby's hand.

We drove to snow canyon...

This is why it is called snow canyon...The white stone marks across the Mountain. 

Good bye! We are on our way home!

Have a great week-end my friends :)

Oh this house is so pretty!

We went to Downtown St George....It looks like Salt lake there too with beautiful Antique homes and green lawns.

We saw Brigham Young House (BUY was named of him if you are familiar with football)...It was his winter house and he would stay away from the snow and stay here 5 months in winter and then go back to salt lake the rest of the time.

I WOULD LOVE to do that!

The house is adorable. I forgot my camera in the car for the tour...Crap. They kept it all like at the pioneer time with furniture...everything. So cool. OH i would make a terrible pioneer...LOL. They were strong, i tell you.

On the side of the yard, they had grape vines, a fig tree and pecan tree.  Yum!

I would love to have tropical trees! Oh well, any fruit tree would make me happy. LOL.

During the civil war, they were growing cotton in St George. How cool is that!

We did some hiking...

The kids loved the caves...

View of the valley.

Party here
