Getaway Weekend

I had taken a few days off of work in the beginning of July so Andy and I could go camping with our friends Nate and Diana at a place called the Bliss in Tahoe. We were really looking forward to our trip with them...but then Andy's plate got overloaded and we were unable to go. He had a scout day camp, was studying for a part of the CPA exam, and got called to teach seminary... who wants to tell work that you can come in when you have already requested the days off??? not me! So at church on Sunday Kelly Dickson mentioned that she was going up to her in laws cabin near Pine Crest Lake. This was about the 3rd time she had invited me to go, but I have never been able to because of work. So we were both so excited that it was actually a perfect time for me, and that I would be able to go. Here are some pictures from the girls weekend getaway (with kids).

The great big family room, plenty of room for all.



Dinner time, Stephanie Taylor and Moana Butler and their girls were also there.


Huge dandelion that the kids found.




Fun times, walking down through the creek and enjoying a nice sandy spot.

A cabin that overlooks the creek and owns the sandy bank.

Rocks....I love rocks and the small simple beautiful, amazing things in life. I could spend hours picking up small pebbles and looking at all the neat shapes and colors.

The couch shaped rock
So gorgeous...(Andy maybe you should look into a cabin here before you get your mind set on Alaska)
