Labor Day at the Cabin

We decided to spend Labor Day up at the cabin.  We went to church on Sunday and decided to leave after sacrament so we could spend more time at the cabin and beat a potential storm (that ended up not coming).
When we got there Julie and her family were already there and Sherri and Rich had just pulled up.  We unpacked the car and then decided to go for a four-wheel ride.  Megan wasn't too sure she liked it, but seemed to enjoy it alright.  The boys loved it of course.  We even saw a Momma mouse and her baby.  They were super cute.
Then we checked out the new water fall that was being put in.  The boys liked playing in the water.  After a couple more hours the rest of our party came and we got dinner started and then we all ate some yummy food out on the deck.  After dinner we had cupcakes and sang "Happy Birthday" to Josh.  Then he opened a couple of gifts and then the kids played some more with the cousins.
Then we all got ready for bed and said good night.  Josh had a hard night and woke up like five times and I ended up just letting him come into our bed (mainly so I wouldn't have to keep going and laying with him in his bed).
The next day was Labor Day.  We had some breakfast and then decided to go for another four-wheel ride.  At first Tyler didn't want to go with us because he wanted to stay and play video games with his new cousin, Logan.  But after telling him that we probably wouldn't go on another ride, he decided to come with us. 
After the ride we decided to feed the fish in the pond and take a little walk around.  The fish loved our food and were totally jumping all around for the food.  My brother caught some of those fish later that day - but then put them back.
Tony decided to work on a project with the waterfall to get the water to go over a rock a certain way and ended up getting pretty wet.  Tyler and Josh also played in the water and got totally wet and dirty.  They had a great time playing in the waterfall with the other cousins.
But all good things come to an end.  It was time to start heading home.  I figured Josh would fall asleep on the way home, so I didn't want to stay too late.  Josh did fall asleep and so did Tyler for a little bit.  It was nice to be home again, even though I had three load of laundry to do.
