Forced Family Fun

The second half of our trip included the wonderful Forced Family Fun portion! We celebrated Dad & Mom's 40th anniversary (2 years in planning) with EVERYONE at their cabin for the 1st time. It was wonderful! Everyone enjoyed their time together. We are one crazy bunch!

It almost didn't happen....Dad was out at the cabin first and called saying their was a forest fire. IT. WAS. CLOSE. This is the closest it has ever been to the cabin. This pic is standing on their front porch. It was maintained by the time we arrived (3 days later). I'm glad everyone was safe and no one was hurt. 

Here is our family at the cabin.

Lots of time spent on the 4-wheelers. Sometimes they weren't even running. I can't believe how many hours they were entertained on these.

Lauren loves to drive.

Meredith learned how to drive all by herself.

The cousins played together so well.

Levi's 1st time to the cabin. He enjoyed Papa and Nana time.

One of Clay's favorite part was working! Pulling trees up. This is a never-ending job.

There was lots of hiking.

See the cabin?

Lauren climbed her 1st mountain! She was a trooper! See the cabin on her right in the distance? And see the fire on the left (black area)?

Enjoying the view with Uncle Ryan. So proud of you Lauren!

We loved the rodeo!!!

All the Govig cousins with Papa and Nana. Eli (5), Papa, Micah (almost 7), Nana, Kale (almost 3), Kyler (6), Lauren (8), Levi (10 months) and Meredith (almost 5).

The Govig Gang

I loved seeing Levi added to our log end. Dad has carved initials in each end of the trusses in the cabin. On one end are our initials "C, M". On the other end for our kids. Lauren, Meredith and Levi. Each family has one. Thanks Dad!
