LABOR DAY WEEKEND CABIN FUN

Invited my sister Elaine and her son Alex and my niece Emily Miller and her family to have some cabin time again.  It has been over three years since we did this last so was great to have them back.  Daughters Morgan and Brooklyn have grown A LOT!   As has Alex who now towers over everybody!

  Morgan, Emily & Brooklyn Miller (Emily is the daughter of my sister Julene), and Alex and my sister Elaine Manwaring.  Taken on their visit to Bryce Canyon Sunday afternoon after our good Italian dinner which Emily's husband Ryan always makes for us when they come.

 Best friends and cousins, Morgan, Alex and Brooklyn

 Alex, Brook, Emily, Morgan & Ryan

Some of my favorite people!

Bryce was spectacular with the changing weather

 The kids couldn't get enough ATVing.  This is them at the top of the summit that overlooks our cabin area.

But as usual, the ATVing never goes smoothly!  One of them always gets towed!

It rained every one of the five days they were here!  Sure made the air fresh and cool!

Wildlife was another big draw for the weekend

Hummingbirds

Crows, bluejays & hawks

 Each youngun' found a favorite horny toad to play with

 And the cool evenings brought our nightly visitors

This is one musical family!  Ryan with his guitar which he played a lot for us... including the concert with Emily and her violin after Sunday dinner!  It was so fun to watch how in tune they are with each other as they vocalize and instrumentalize together!   Some cars coming down the road even stopped to hear for a while!

Unfortunately the last day both Ryan and Brooklyn were not feeling well.  We were glad that most of their visit was fine, but made it all end on a sadder note.

The other sad note is that we have decided we have cooties or something!  Three of the four cabins that surround us are now up for sale!  Hope Glen does not have to sell his after all.  Don't know what we would do without our friend across the road!
