Cannonville

Once Chase got into town I was brave enough to stay the night at the cabin. When you stay over night it's COLD but totally worth it in the morning when you smell the scones Pops is making downstairs. Breakfast is always SO good at the cabin. We had an awesome discussion after the kids went to sleep and I was able to learn so much more about this amazing family I married into. I love these guys!! Heber and Jenna were able to make it as well and it's always fun chilling with the super hip (and fit...Cross Fit) Aunt and Uncle in the family.

Sadie got her pony fix and spent nearly an hour picking grass to feed to the horse who was not at all intimidated by her 3 foot little peanut frame.
Jack was a little worried about the large creature trying to eat the grass in his hand. Whoa! Those are some big teeth! He enjoyed picking up rocks and a little horse poop instead of potentially being eaten alive.
Heber showed off his massive Cross Fit muscles and threw enormous boulders into the river all to get this expression on Jack's face. Every time the massive stone hit the water, Jack's face lit up, he squealed with delight and yelled to Heber in his baby gibberish to throw another one. I can't get enough of this little guy's smiles and enthusiasm. He has such a zest for life!!
Sadie showed us all she's every bit as strong as Heber and threw some boulders of her own. For a little tike, that's a pretty big rock!! I don't think Sadie could ever get sick of that river. We could stay there all day but end up having to retreat to the cabin once the sun goes down and the chill sweeps in.
When Jack throws rocks, he has the stance of a professional pitcher. He takes the rock, holds it behind his head for a few(sometimes several)seconds and you think this rock is going to fly to space and it usually end up right at his feet. So cute!! After a few days hanging by the river with endless amounts of rocks, he really got the hang of throwing and was able to see the rocks hit the water. He always claps after he throws.



What a heavenly place!! If I could, I'd stay there all summer!!
