For those of you who don't know, my family has a cabin up Weber Canyon, that we spend a lot of time at during the summer. This past weekend we went up with my parents and two of my brothers to do some work.
We had a few trees die over the winter, and to reduce the risk of fires on the property we cut down the dead trees, and then use them for fire wood. This is a picture of Ryan and my big brother Rob right after they fell the tree
(that is really what it is called when you cut down trees.)
This is Ryan's favorite part of the cabin... cutting down 50-60 foot trees.
Allie loves to watch the big boys when they cut down the trees, but sometimes she thinks that the chainsaws are too loud. :)
After the boys finished dropping four trees we thought that it would be fun to play in the river. This time of year it is really low and doesn't move very fast.
Sheldon loves to walk across the river and then turn right back around. He thinks that he is one of the big boys because he can make it all the way across and back.
We built a little dam this year and made a small pool...
The pool area was deep enough for Ryan to sit down in it, but the water was really cold.
This is a picture of my neice Emily who is about 2 months older than Allie trying to help Ryan stand back up... then she decided to splash him instead.
My cute dad loves to sit on the side lines and watch his family playing together...
He loves to have us all up at the cabin, because it reminds him of when we were all a lot littler and when his mom was still alive.
I just thought this piture of Allie was so cute. She is giving everyone a kiss and telling them thanks for looking at our pictures of our fun weekend. :)

That looks like a lot of fun! I haven't seen your dad in a long time! Your kids are getting so big. I hope you can make it to the next get-together so we can see them!
I feel tranquil just looking at the pictures! What a fun place it must be for your family to get together. Looks like a beautiful area. :)
