Gathering at the Cabin

This weekend all the siblings met at Mary's cabin for a get together. It was really very fun. There were still some autumn leaves left and it was very pretty. The weather was perfect, in the low to mid 60's during the day. The cabin is very nice. Running water, plumbing, heat, big screen tv, nice beds and bedrooms for everyone.

Friday was mostly a travel day, but by night we were all together. We had a great dinner of home made ravioli prepared by Joni. We had a good night of talking. Shirley made copies of many photos in Mom's scrap books and gave them to all of us. It was fun going thru the photos. Saturday started with golf for me and Judy rode the quads. After lunch, I went with Judy riding on the quads for the balance of the day. Mom was an animal on the quads. She even had a wheel leave the ground when she hit a rut going a bit too fast. She hung on to the bike, but it slowed her down a bit. We found a natural hot spring on the ride. We were both very tired. After dinner we played games and had a great time just talking. We also celebrated Shirley's birthday. Sunday was another great day, but a travel day. After a huge breakfast, we left for home. We stopped in St George to see Allen and Patti Cannon.

It was a great weekend.

Sounds fun, padre. Maybe you'll have to get mom a quad for Christmas. It sounds like she was one crazy riding fool!

That sounds like a very fun weekend. Of course it couldn't have been as fun as the weekend you just had here in Colorado. Spending the day with my kids must be more exciting than riding quads. We did have lots of fun with you here. Thanks for the visit. We love you.

Sounds like it went really well. I can't believe went quading (is that a word?) all day. Glad everyone was safe and had fun.
