Do you ever have one of those days (or weekends) when you have a million things to do around the house so instead of doing it you just leave and avoid it all together? Well that's what we did for the 24th. We had big plans of getting all our chores in the house and the yard done and at the last minute decided we'd rather go play instead. So we tried to pack in as much into our three day weekend as possible. Thursday we drove up to the family cabin and had a little barbecue. Afterwards we took Logan down to Causey dam and let him play around in the water and also let him fish for the first time. It would have been more exciting if we actually caught something but it was still fun. Afterwards we went for rides on the Rhino (that's a 4-wheeler) and then back to the cabin for our traditional monopoly match. Friday morning we woke up, cooked breakfast and then headed off to Pineview lake. We spent a few hours there just hanging out on the beach and playing in the water and then headed home to go to the rodeo with some of our friends. This was actually my first rodeo I had ever been to and I was quite entertained. I'm not really sure what possesses these people to do these "sports" where they could be trampled by a horse or a bull and seriously injured but I guess I to each his own. Logan loved watching the rodeo and as I put him in bed that night the last thing he said to me was "mommy, more horseys". Saturday morning we woke up and got ready to head back up to the cabin. We had to stop by the paint store first because the deck needed to be repainted and we decided that we'd get a little work done while we were up there. When we got there we started working right away and let me tell you, it's not all these easy painting and trying to keep a two year old away from where you just painted and all the paint supplies. Luckily for us though, Taylor's parents had come up and were able to keep Logan distracted. After painting we took more rides on the Rhino and just played outdoors. We spent the night and then came home Sunday afternoon. It was a fun little weekend and although we came home to a lot of work that needed to be done it was completely worth it.
