J.Lynne: July 2008

It was refreshing to spend a weekend away from home and very exciting to see everyone again! Michawn and Kendie I wish you both could have been there! Because of being at a wedding friday evening I didn't get to the cabin until late. I spent Saturday hiking to the top of the mountain. Barry said there was a trail that lead up the side of the mountain and so a group of us went to check it out. The path ended a quarter of the way up the mountian....but we were determined to make it to the top...so we blazed our own trail, and it was a steep one!! The hike up was challenging, but coming back down was rewarding! The rest of the afternoon was spent being lazy, reading, playing volleyball and some cards. Of course the night was finished off with a fire work display thanks to Jay, Steve and Hershel! Sunday we spent time sharing testimonies of Gods faithfulness in each of our lives. It was very good to be reminded of how awesome our God is!!

Below are some pictures from the weekend!

The "new" Cabin....and it's actually called the Martin's Cabin :)

A game of Haus anyone??

The weekend would not be complete without at least one wrestling match!!

These are pic.s of our hike. Here we are starting our descent...lots of loose rocks. Below Jay is tossing a rock to see how far it would roll. It was quite steep.

The few, the proud, the most adventurous of hikers :) Thanks to Barry for blazing the trail....literaly!

THis is the view from the front porch....that mountain in the distance....yeah that's the one we hiked :) (can you tell I'm still impressed we did it??)
