Labor Day Weekend

   Labor Day weekend was our last weekend at the cabin this year.  I feel like with our move, we just didn't get to spend as much time up there as we usually do.  It it is such a long time until the end of May when we can go back.  I am really hoping that we get to spend a lot more time up there next summer since we will be settled into our new house.
      We had a great time Labor Day weekend.  The weather was decent, and we got in as much fun as we could for our last weekend.  We went on a lot of rides.  We also did a lot of raspberry picking since they were just perfect for picking.  The kids had a great time picking the wild raspberries.  (We brought them home and my grandma turned them into delicious jam).
    Joey and Bryan have really gotten into taking pictures of the stars at night, so there are a lot of star pictures included in this post.  Here are some pictures from our weekend. 

The perfect place to enjoy a nice hot cup of coffee first thing in the morning

I miss this site so much, and can not wait to be there again!

Bryan is the man of many, many hobbies, and has recently taken up making his own knives. 

Our dear, sweet Tiara.  This turned out to be her last weekend at the cabin.  She passed away the end of September and she was such an incredible dog.  She will be greatly missed by all.  We all know she is now in heaven playing in the river with Alli. 

A picture Ashlyn drew.  I love her artwork

This is her drawing of Mario with Princess Peach

This is such a good picture of Tiara and I am so thankful that she got one last visit to the cabin.  It was both her and Alli's favorite place in the whole world. 

Our sweet deer family came by to visit

    On Labor Day, Ashyln and Ella got to go horseback riding with Ashlyn's grandma.  Ashlyn has not been riding in a long time and she has really missed it.  Ella had never ridden a horse before, so she was so excited to ride.  They both had a great time and talked about it for days.

Oh my!  She looks so grown up in this picture.

Ella really liked taking care of and brushing the horses
