Last day of summer...

...At least before school started

Heston and Maricela invited us to join them at the family "Cabin" (I say its more of a compound). We started the day with some rain but as soon as we got up to Morgan we were greeted by sunshine and it was amazing! The 'cabin' is simply beautiful. We took a bit of a walk/hike over to the golf course where the kids had a good time running around. Then we came back to the cabin and while Maricela and I made lunch the boys and kids got in the hut tub. We had a wonderful
lunch outside.

After lunch the kids did some more swimming. There is a river that flows through the property and Heston, Dave and Leah all got in. Then they ran back to the hot tub to get warmed up. We watched Heston swing on a rope and into the freezing river. Leah said she wanted to get all the way in like the dads and so Dave 'helped' her in... it was a good time to see her come out :D She was FREEZING! later Leah, Heston and Dave all went down the river on Milli's little floaty, it made for a great laugh when the guys were on it. Maricela and I just sat back and laughed :)



Milli was taking her nap so I decided I better jump on the opportunity to get in the hot tub. Well Heston and Dave (and Mari too) thought I should not be allowed in the hot tub until I floated down the river as well, since I was egging in on so much earlier. I am a good sport so I quickly got in the below freezing river and onto the floaty. I could not believe how cold that water was and that Leah and the boys had gotten in. Dave was laughing so hard while I went down the river and I must say, it was funny to watch us float down. We filmed each other but those will not be going on the blog :)

We later played some games while the kids watched a movie. It was so fun to get to know some random things about Heston and Maricela and I am sure (SURE) they had a fun time as well. Really it was a great GREAT time. I hope we get to go back.
