Memorial Day Weekend

Can you guess where we went for Memorial Day weekend??!! Yep! We went back up to the cabin again... AND Mel and Alana came also (Cody was working). Mom made us DELICIOUS Cafe Rio dinner (you can find anything on the Internet!)!

After walking into the cabin, the first thing Alana did was dig through her bag and pull out this bunny rabbit costume!! She spent the next hour jumping around and being quiet (since bunnies don't make noises).

Dad made us a GINORMOUS fire... he used a little "fire juice" to get it started... actually I think we used most of the whole can of fire juice that night!

Ever noticed how the air is bent weird right above the fire (I think the heat makes the air look distorted). Anyway Lana noticed it and showed me... she asked me "Can you see the portal?". I asked her what a portal was and she told me portal's lead to another dimension, like another land. Who knew?!

Watching the fire and telling stories: Alana, Mel, Mom, Joni, JoyAnne, Dad.

I thought this was a cute picture of Kris. He would follow Alana across this log and watch her VERY CLOSELY and catch her if she even had the teeny tiniest fall! (The log is higher off the ground than it looks... probably not the best thing to teach a 5 year old how to cross rapid rivers on a log huh? Amazing Mel lets us hang out with her child so much! Maybe she doesn't know what we are teaching her!)
Yah... I know the movie is totally sideways! Alana was being most helpful and scavenging for fire food. Amy and I turned around and she had PICKED UP this 20 foot long stick!! (My measurements are completely accurate....) We were laughing our heads off! Once again... here we are teaching Lana the great things every mother would wish her child to know! (I took the movie sideways hoping you could see how long the stick is...)
