Weekend @ the Cabin!

Conference weekend... Last Saturday Riley flew home from New York, and we headed up to the cabin. When we got there the rest of his family was just sitting down for dinner. After dinner we had a "surprise" birthday party for Porter. That's what he wanted, so when he was in the other room we shut off all the lights and yelled "SURPRISE" when he came out.

Here the kids are with the cake. Porter put his own candles on, can ya tell?

After the little kids were all asleep we got a "mad" game of Rummy going. Playing this game with Riley's family is pretty entertaining. Next time I'm going to put my video camera up somewhere so we can catch all the cheaters, and everyone yelling at everyone. It's lots fun!

Sunday after the breakfast, and the morning session of Conference we went out to get some wood for the cabin and for me and Riley to bring home for our fireplace. It was soooo cold and a blizzard. Kelly & Riley! Papa Rich in the background.

After feeling 3 trucks full, we went back to the cabin and cut and split all of it.

It was a short, but fun weekend. The food was sooooo yummy (as always). And a lot of work was accomplished before winter hits! (oh yeah, and we got to experience the first snow-storm. I love this time of year)
