What an amazing weekend! I always forget how much fun the fourth of July is at the cabin until we are there. We counted up how many hours we spent in the saddle all weekend and were amazed that we spent sixteen hours riding. I was surprised that I wasn't sore at all, the same can't be said for our friends the Bain's, they were a little bull legged at the end of the weekend.
The wildflowers were blooming so it was amazing to ride and see wild sweet peas, Indian paint brush and flowers of every color splashed in with the wild grass. We saw lots of moose too.
We took our three year old - now called Bullseye and our four year old, Miss Renegade along with Bear and Cheyenne. The first day I had a little bit of a rodeo with Renny trying to get her to cross the water, but Dar hopped on her and spent an hour working with her and by the end of the trip, she didn't even hesitate to go through the streams.
The boys had a fantastic time during the paint ball war. It is so funny to watch them at the end of the day comparing war wounds. I think Darren won - he has a huge bruise on his side. Ken was very proud of all of the paint on his sweatshirt! (I thought the goal of the game was to not get hit, but apparently I was wrong.)
The boys spent hours riding their motorcycles - (thank goodness we didn't have any mishaps,) and we stayed up late watching movies and playing games every night.
Our friends, the Johnson's, have a cabin by us and they made banana boats one night. I hadn't ever had one before, but they were actually pretty good!
Lori's Banana Boats
Cut a banana down the center, leaving the peel on. Sprinkle miniature marshmallows, mini chocolate chips and crumbled graham crackers on top of the banana then wrap in foil and set in the coals of a fire for a few minutes until the chocolate and marshmallows melt.
