Im not much of a camper.
Conversely, I can say that I am a CABINPRENEUR.Defined by me as: a person who enjoys the idea of roughing it but does the business of "camping" in a cabin. Thats got EDEN written all over it.With exception of the functioning and frequently used outhouse, I really enjoy the outdoors in a cabin (I used the more modern convenience of indoor plumbing myself).
I loved revisiting the family cabin in the mountains just outside of SunValley Idaho. It was such a refreshing vacation from our mundane activities in the stifling Arizona weather.
The weather was perfect. The water a Redfish lake was a bit too chilly, but it is a glacier fed lake so that was to be expected. The second time we went to the lake the wind had died down and the high was 78. It was a lovely day at the lake. We really enjoyed our cabin adventure. Much to Zachary's dismay we did not see a bear at the cabin (mom was relieved though). I love the dark starry nights in the woods. I was so happy when it got cool at night. So different from sweating all night in your sleep here in AZ.
After a lunch stop at my favorite little burger joint, Paces DairyAnn (in Bountiful)for a "countryboy" with cheese, and grape rainbow, we drove to Logan to meet up with the inlaws for Mikes first taste of Maddox chicken in a decade. It must have been finger-lickin-good the way he snarfed it down with gusto. YUM! I also caught a glimpse of the Brigham City temple under construction. (My only concern is that the roof may not be tall enough for all the big hair and bangs that will be coming in from that area. Hee hee hee)
Then onto Twin Falls. Shoshone falls is very high with water this year and we let the kiddos get out and stretch to an amazing view of the falls and new temple. Both were amazing. I really like Twin Falls. I can see myself living up there someday.
Then to SunValley and the cabin. Mike and havent been back since our honeymoon almost 10 years ago.Its been way too long. Here are some random shots. For some reason I didnt get my camera out when everyone got there on Friday. Sorry Jake, Mariangel, Justin & Kristy. We really did love spending time with all of you.
It was wonderful. Hope it wont be another 10 years till we get up there again.

It is actually the rolls and raspberry butter at Maddox that are worth the 1 and 1/2 hour drive for me! Looks like it was amazing, and it may shock some people to know that Idaho is truly beautiful...especially up north!
I came across your blog and it was fun to catch up your family! We actually just moved to Twin Falls! Adam is an emergency doctor at the new hospital here and we are loving it. I'm an Idaho girl, so we are happy to be "home." Anyway, congrats on the new little one, we just had our 5th!
I miss you. Please sell your beautiful big house and move next door to me. :-) We can be best friends again and our kids can get married. That's a start anyway. MISS YOU!!!
