The Cabin Where Lives Are Changed

This look says it all, about three days before leaving for the cabin Preston started throwing up for no reason. He threw up nine or ten times that day and the next day was all back to normal. Dallin showed no signs of being sick, so we thought we had dodged the bullet. The morning we left for the cabin, Julie was awakened by Dallin throwing up all over her. We decided to still go to the cabin and hoped that it would work out. Poor Dallin threw up probably eight more times on the drive up to the cabin. The very next day Dallin was no longer sick and was good to go, so we thought that would be the end of it. Sadly Dallin gave his bug to everyone in the cabin and Aunt Amy was nice enough to share her cold with our family so we didn't leave without taking something home. We apologize to all family members and hope that you will still visit with us, especially dad.
Moving on, this cabin trip was awesome and for many different reasons. Something that was unique to this trip was our shooting outing because Aunt Beth went. Beth has never been shooting before and she and I have had several lengthy talks about guns where Beth expressed her dislike and fear for them and I my love and admiration for them. So I wrongly assumed shooting with Beth would never happen. However Beth surprised me by agreeing to go with us and shoot. I am very proud of Beth, not only was she a natural shooter with great potential but she stepped out of her comfort zone and tried something that was new and scary. Congrats Beth.
Look every one gets excited to shoot. Amy was delirious with excitement.
Dallin is now a shooting fixture and I assume he will go along from now on. Which is how I prefer it. Before long we will have our own little S.W.A.T. team.
Dallin dressed for success.
Dallin really liked the cowboy gun, but it is a little too big for his hands. If only some loving grandparent would buy this boy a gun that fights his hands so we can start earning scholarship money.
So a lot of people think that I am the funny silly one in the family, well world meet Julie. I love the person she becomes when we are around her family.
The good news, Amy did not cause any injuries to me this time. The bad news is she is still a little to small for this rifle. Regardless she was able to hit the targets with ease.
Julie, all I can say is I married the right girl. Not only does she let me buy these, sometimes ridiculously expensive guns she also shoots them with me.
My little operator.
At the cabin we try to do as many dangerous things as possible (fact: none of the activities we engage in are dangerous if done responsibly by competent individuals, but unfortunately the world is full of idiots who don't know what they are doing and get hurt and give the activities a bad rap) so of course next on the plate was motorcycle riding with grandpa Farmer.
Notice the perfect form.
Notice the screaming, Dallin has always had a special love for his grandfathers not that he doesn't love his grandmas but he just prefers playing with the guys. So to be able to do something this fun with grandpa is even better.
Dallin either forgot or didn't want to turn for the perfect photo.
Preston is a little small for the motorcycles so instead we presented him with a drowning hazard. The boy loves the water regardless of the temperature of the air outside or the body of water itself.
Grandma helping Dallin to enjoy one her favorite activities at the cabin, and as long as you aren't fishing in the canoe on a Sunday perfectly safe.
This was fun, Preston did not understand the point of being in the water but dry. He did his best to rectify the situation but Julie was able to hold on. Although it caused us to nearly capsize several times.
Bed time another fun part of cabin life with the young ones.
Preston choose to stay up until eleven fun for us.
