＊Memorial Day Weekend＊

We spent our Memorial Day weekend in Cedar City, at Chad's family's cabin.

I've been up there a couple of times before, but never in the summer time - and it was Noa's first time being in the wild! {which, he was very excited about, as you can imagine}

One of the main reasons for this trip was for Chad's family to see Noa - how much he's grown - and for us to catch up with everyone...
but we also had some time to::::::::


＊celebrate (Great) Grandma Betty's birthday＊

 ...with a card, a gift....

...and some cheesecake! mmm...


＊play on the 4-wheeler＊

{leaving the baby behind...}

 ...and going for a scenic ride...

spending some quality time together

...with some wildlife, of course...

We also went....

＊Cave-diving＊

gettin' down and dirty

...in a couple different caves

{ice crystal formations on the cave ceiling}

and...

 ＊Fishing＊

 {Noa helped me out}

and I got one! {the biggest one of the day!!!}

Believe it or not, we did cook and eat the fish that we caught, and it was surprisingly very delicious!

Other highlights of the trip included: playing games, eating yummy food, spotlighting for deer at night, cutting down dead trees....and watching Noa interact with everyone.

and what's a cabin-trip without 

＊a bonfire and some s'mores＊

Noa was very much mesmerized by the fire

Such a fun, fantastic trip - we were able to enjoy as a family!
