Cabin and 4 wheelers.........

We were able to spend the weekend in the cabin our friends own in Smith Morehouse up above Kamas!! Bob called on Friday and told us it was available..so we scrambled and everybody changed their schedules for such a nice weekend...Gary, Rob and I went up Friday..Kristi came up in the afternoon on Saturday...Trevor, Staci & Max came up around 7:30pm Saturday and Kati & Ben got there around midnight...We all got to spend the weekend in the most beautiful place around! We had so much fun riding 4 wheelers and a golfcart..walking the dogs, (yes, both dogs came too and were really good) petting and feeding the horses..etc.. Kristi and I made scones for Navajo Taco's and honey butter saturday afternoon that lasted all weekend...isn't that just a great camping food? We just totally enjoyed ourselves...we saw so many deer, and Kristi and I saw a Moose while we were riding the 4 wheelers....

This picture is off the back deck...so many of my favorite Aspen Trees all around the cabin.....

This is one of the many deer...this is a doe with her 2 baby deer...you can't see them in this picture, of course I didn't have my camera, just my cell phone...they were in our driveway and when they walked away, we went on the 4 wheelers to find them...the 4 wheelers are a little too noisy to get very close so this is all I could get...Kristi and I were out with the 4 wheelers and there was a HUGE baby Moose on the road in front of us...he was scared off the road by our noise and we could see him in the brush but we decided not to stick around due to the fact his mom was probably close by and we were a little unprotected on the 4 wheelers....It was fun to see though....

These next two pictures are right outside our dinning room window...sorry for the screen...I didn't want to go onto the deck because it would scare the deer away...you could tell the animals would sleep around the cabin...the tall grass would be smashed down....they are so beautiful....


Here is Max on the deck with Mockey...the dogs did so good up there......

Here is Max with Jack on the deck too....

We did have on scary experience Sunday night...it generally storms while we are up there...they are really fast moving storms but full of lightening and thunder...I have to admit, I really love the storms with all the lightening and thundering...(up until Sunday night anyway LOL)...We had Max in the tub and everyone else was in the livingroom/dining room....yes, there was a storm coming through...I could see it through the bathroom window and Gary had just come in from riding the 4 wheeler...there are 2 big windows in the livingroom/dinning room which are the front of the cabin and we had them open...while I was in the bathroom with Max there was a flash and then crack of thunder soon after...I said "that one wasn't a mile away" and everybody agreed...I then was walking in the hall towards the livingroom/dinning room facing the windows when there was the most deafening crack orange flash and sparks I have ever seen or heard...everybody screamed and ran around to close windows and turn everything off (it was amazing to me that the power didnt' go off...a few circuit breakers flipped off is all)....the lightening hit in the front yard of the cabin somewhere among the Aspens...first we thought it hit a tree, but the next morning we decided it just hit the ground...it was terrifying and something we will always remember and of course talk about (you always have to have those memories that you can talk about LOL)...but everybody was safe and we still had a fabulous weekend.....ending with great shakes at the Polar King on our way home.....thanks Bob for the use of you cabin again!
