At our cabin

We left the heat of St. George behind us and headed up to our cabin in wyoming. 
My brother James from Boise came over with his family for a two day visit. 
We stayed busy fishing, four wheeling and even flying!


 My family went back to Boise Saturday morning and we got ready for a fun
 evening at the park. 
 As most of you know, the place we built our cabin is where my husband, 
Joe, grew up. Ever year for as long as we have been married, 15 years, the 
little town of Freedom has a reunion and fireworks show the week around
 pioneer days. The kids look forward to the annual "candy drop" from an airplane.
They don't get a ton of candy, but it is fun chasing down the airplane 
and plus this year they provided hats for safety. 
At least one child gets hit hard with falling candy and gets hurt.  
Jacob was so worried about his hat falling off when he ran after the candy 
that he had only 3 pieces by the time it was over. Thanks to a sweet big sister 
who was nice enough to share a handful of her candy with him. She even went 
as far as to toss a few pieces on the ground and let Jacob hurry to pick them up. 
Joey and I have the worst allergies up here, so we ended up going back to the
 cabin early. Everyone was happy by the end of the evening.

Looks like tons of fun--funny about the candy hitting hard, but what a sweet sister! Nice retreat from the heat, too.
