The Cabin

We enjoyed a great little weekend at Jared's family cabin. It is such a beautiful place and we had such a great time with everyone. Thanks for the great weekend Mom & Dad! More to come on our other travels later.
Sam with her cute aunties...We all had a lot of fun 4-wheeling. A lot of the wildflowers were in bloom and there were meadows and meadows of beautiful Balsamroot (sunflowers) and so much more. So fun! This was the 1st time we took the girls riding...they are required to wear helmets and needless to say, we weren't that prepared...but our newly purchased bike helmets seemed to do the job pretty good. We could hardly get Sam to take hers off.
Grandma & Grandpa tended the zoo while we snuck away for a minute and 4-wheeled to the top of one of the mountains behind the cabin. The view of the Palisades Reservoir is so beautiful.EWE...licking the band-aid...nastyThe mosquitoes sure thought Sam was sweet, despite constant repellent application! We tried itchy cream...but the magic cure ended up being band-aids. The moment she got a band-aid, it was all better. This was her look the entire weekend...we couldn't help but laugh every time we looked at her!

Wow the flowers are amazing. That pic with the fam poking up out of them is the best! Leave it to you to refer to them as Balsamroot. See, now I have learned something today! Thanks, Mandy!
