An Adventure in Cascade...

A couple of weekends back, we (Benj, myself, Nat, Shan, the babies, and Denise) went to Cascade to stay in a cabin in the woods.  This trip was planned to be a 4 day trip but only lasted 2 1/2 days and was an experience in itself.  We thought that getting away for a weekend was a great idea, but of course any trip with 5 adults and 3 babies will have its interesting moments.

The night before leaving, Benj and Nathanael decided it would be great to see The Dark Night Rises at the midnight showing.  Needless to say they were exhausted the next morning when it was time to get everything together and ready to leave by lunch time.  I ended up getting very sick and right before leaving, Benj took me to the urgent care only to find out I was dehydrated so we got there an hour or so later than everyone else.

Though the first day was rough, it got better and better as we spent more time there!  We had a great brunch at the Pancake House in McCall, the guys got to ride dirt bikes, we did some shopping, had some relaxing time in the cabin, and went on a beautiful hike by Lake Cascade.  We are so thankful for Shannon's friends allowing us to borrow their cabin for the weekend and here are some pictures of our fun moments!








The rest of the pictures are all on Facebook along with some funny videos of our time there!

We love the West...

The benefits to living out West and the benefits of Benj's job, is that we get to see things like this!  I so wish I could've been there with them, but Benj and Nathanael had a great time visiting Arches National Park while on the road, and here are a few of their pictures.  Even though I get to see our beautiful mountains everyday, I can't wait to go visit these parks myself!
