A little time in SLC

   After the reunion we headed up to SLC to spend a little time with Jake's family. We went to a demolition derby that turned out to be the lamest derby ever. We were there for over 2 hours and they had 3 heats, and all 3 heats were with the same 6 or so cars. Super dumb. Luckily the rest of the weekend was much better.
   Jake's dad is part owner of this little cabin up in Cottonwood Canyon. It is a tiny little thing that I believe Jake's grandpa helped build. They talk about it all the time but I had never been up there so we decided to take a little drive up there on Sunday afternoon. It is really old and small but super cute and the kids loved it.

I told Jake that if we lived closer, I would love to go up there on weekends in the summer. The only problem is that it doesn't have a bathroom inside. You have to walk out behind the cabin to a little outhouse. Ethan had to go the bathroom but really didn't want to use the outhouse because honestly, it was a little creepy. It's tiny, it's just a drop hole, and it was quite dirty with cobwebs and stuff on it. But when you gotta go, you gotta go! I finally convinced him that he would be super brave if used it so he did.

So of course we had to take a victory picture of Ethan with the outhouse, since he had conquered the fear of the outhouse!

Olivia was having the time of her life. There is nothing this girl likes more than to play in the mud/dirt and get as messy as possible. Unfortunately for me, I had put her in white shorts that morning not knowing that we would be ending up in the mountains that afternoon! Oh well, nothing a little bleach couldn't fix!

There was also a fun wooden bench swing that the kids had a great time taking turns swinging on, and pushing each other on.

Ethan has asked me a couple times since then when we are going to go back up to that cool little cabin!
