"Are you happy?"

"Are you happy?" is what Evan says when he wants to tell you that he is happy!

And... being at Aunt Steph's cabin was something that defiantly made Evan happy!

The cabin had lots of things that Evan LOVED!


The Cabin!

You can see the cabin in the background. Evan loved playing outside the cabin, climbing on the beds in the cabin and eating lots of YUMMY cabin food!


The Fish!

Touching the fish was not scary for Evan at all. Actually, he loved to sit beside the fish we had caught and poke out their eyes! Yes, he is all boy!


The River!

Playing by the river provided lots of enterainment. With a Salmon bat and lots of rocks Evan found plenty to do!


The Outhouse!

For some reason Evan was fascinated with the outhouse! Playing peek-a-boo behind it with his Sissy keep him entertained for a while.



The Dirt!

Evan loved getting dirty! The more dirt he had on him the better. Sometimes I wondered if his face would ever be clean again!

We loved getting away to Aunt Steph's cabin. To get there we parked our car and then got on an ATV and rode in on a dirt/mud trail for 8 miles. The ride took us about an hour. Evan loved riding "The Rhino". We hauled in our water and made it without electricity for four days! The cabin is two rooms. One room has a kitchen and eating area with a loft for sleeping and the other room has three beds and a fireplace for heating in the winter! The outhouse served us well and the fire pit cooked us some very good food!

Life there was SIMPLE and we LOVED it! Sure wish we could get back to that kind of simplicity more often!

Blood and Guts!


When you go to Alaska,


Isn't it normal...



to get a little fish blood on you?


Well...


Eden did and she was LOVING it!

We're leaving on a Jet Plane...


Evan and Eden took their first plane ride.


We went all the way to Alaska.


Seven and a half hours in the plane...one way!


Our babies did not mind.


They slept...all the way to Alaska and back!

The rest of the story...

Also, on our trip we visited the San Antonio Zoo and Landa Park in New Braunfels. As I look back at the pictures, I can't believe how big our kiddos are getting. They sure don't look much like babies anymore!

Landa Park

At the park they had a small train you could ride for 2 dollars. Our money was well spent. Evan and Eden loved it!





San Antonio Zoo

Evan has been asking to go back to the zoo since we left. Also, he has been very excited to tell everyone that the zebra pooped. He thinks it is very funny!





Now, this adventure may be over but very soon we will be traveling here....


Can't Wait!

Our Little Fish

Evan loves the water, which is the main reason we chose to go to a water park. Eric and I really think he would live in the water if we would let him. At 1 year of age he jumps off the diving board at Nana and Grandaddy's house, goes under water without fussing and can get himself anywhere in the pool he wants to go without any help! So, to say that he loved Schlitterbahn was an understatement! He would do anything at the park. He went down slides, floated the lazy river and even went on a couple of tubing rides with Eric, Grandpa and I. He had a BLAST!

Bottoms Up!

While visiting Schlitterbahn Water Park


over the 4th of July holiday,


Eden first thought that going down


a water slide would be a pretty cool idea!


But...


when things started to turn around


she decided that going down


with her bottom up


was not the BEST idea!

Water Please!

Whenever it is time to water the flowers,



I always have some very eager helpers.



Who love to stand under the hanging baskets as I water



and drink from the hose when I am done!



You can't find help any better than this!
