Family Cabin Trip

I'm a little behind in blogging, but that's okay.
Last Saturday we went to our cabin with my mom, Karri, Grandma Joan, Max & Conli. It was great to be down there, and it's always more worth while when we get to sleep over. Karri showed Pat & I the first 2 episodes of the show "Big Bang Theory" (which we totally loved and have added it to our list of shows for this season!!) And we stayed up late (but not really, we just kept the kids up with us, so it seemed like it was later then it was). Sunday morning Brent, Lisa, Sawyer, JD & Chris all came down in time for a big waffle breakfast!! It was so yummy! We then pulled out the games!! We played 'Pop 5' which is alot of fun with charades, humming, drawing, etc.
Here is JD, Me & Pat 'playing' around.
Then we played 'Trivial Pursuit Pop Culture' which is way fun!!

While we played games the kids were just running around crazy! Which they normally do when they are together. Seriously, they have too much energy!! Xander & Max wrestling:

Conli & Mara playing princesses:

After the games were done I pulled out a new game that I am borrowing from Lana (Thanks again!!) It's called 'Say What?' There are 5 balls in the game, and it will say famous phrases from movies, songs, TV, etc. The phrase is all out of order and you have to move the balls to get them in the right order!! It is so fun!! There are some different ways to play with limited guessing or timed mode. I played with JD, Lisa, and even my Mom tried!! It was way fun and JD was totally the winner every time. But Lisa did way awesome and got one right in the first try, and she didn't even know what it was saying!! It was so cool!! I totally need to buy this one! JD is a little addicted to it!
Karri was so nice to take the girls outside. Here they are probably looking at bugs.
These girls are just so cute together, even when they are way dirty from being outside. Notice all the dirt on Mara's face: She had a runny nose and the dirt attached to it!! She was seriously the dirtiest I have ever seen her!
Before we left we were able to get a good family picture. This was only the second picture and everyone looks great, and even Sawyer is looking at the camera! And of course what's a family picture without a funny one!
I love being at the cabin, as I have mentioned before, and it was great to have everyone there. I hope that as the years go by we will be able to go more often.
