What Happened at the Cabin...

really needed to stay at the cabin-this time around!!

We headed to the cabin to escape the summer heat (no escaping it anywhere in Utah this week) and to celebrate Trev's birthday...

the buttercups were in full bloom....

the wildlife was abundant....

the skies were picture perfect....

a robin was learning to fly....

with a little "saturation" it was all Disneyesqe....

even without "saturation" at 5:30 a.m.!

We ate, we blew out candles, we celebrated...

Cheyenne fell in love!

And then...the "sh*t hit the fan" or to be more exact--Zac and the basement floor!! Funny how quickly all our friends became "party poopers" just because a little pipe breaks! 

After six plumbers in a row refused to come help, Zac took it upon himself to save the family from themselves. After a few phone pictures and a trip to Home Depot, he set about  on a 48 hour project that involved hoses, pipes, shop vacuums, showers in Lysol, very loud music, lots of four letter words, and some of the funniest moments I have experienced in a long time. but he "gotter dun!"

It was this picture, on the box of the pool he bought that kept him going...when all was said and done...he was going to party with bikini clad women! It was the vision, it was the reward that was going to make it all worthwhile.

And Sunday, afternoon, his vision came true, clean, pure, mountain water and air! So all you "party poopers, you missed out...it was all worth it and the celebration continued.

Andy laughed harder than he has laughed since I can't remember when...that belly laugh that makes us all laugh!

I even got a shot of the elusive "Great Western Sandhill Crane"!

Andy caught us dinner....

and all's well that ends well!

 (Lesson learned: Even amid the crap of life....you can still party on!)
