The Cabin

The cabin was the real reunion. We spent Wednesday through Saturday up in the mountains near Heber, just enjoying one another's company and the beautiful surrounding area. 

My Mom set up a spider web for the kids. They each
found a prize at the end of their strings. 

My sister Miriam was nice enough to let us piggyback onto
Johnny's first birthday party with a little celebration for
Nora as well. Johnny did a smashing job with his cake
(pun intended), as did Miriam.

Nora didn't cooperate any better the second time around-
she never even touched hers.  I think Benjamin was trying
to help by holding her next to the cake with her arms down...

But when she opened another pink doll, she was in heaven.

The salt lick just outside brought lots of beautiful visitors. 

Benjamin wanted to play horseshoes with whoever would join him.
He was right at home at the cabin, and even took a seven or eight
mile hike with all the big people without any trouble until the end. 

Benjamin, Nathan and Isaac.

It was SOOO good to see my sisters again. I've missed them! 

Benjamin really hit it off with his cousins Natalie and Lucy.
They were always off somewhere playing together.

On our way out, Peter wanted to go give
Lucy a hug. She happily obliged. :)
