Nap time at the cabin

Firewood trip to Ovid

About 30 minutes out of Bear Lake is a tiny town called Montpelier, and outside of Montpelier is Ovid.  We go to Montpelier for the small town fun and to Ovid for wood. 

We always stop at Kings for good deals and such, and sometimes we even see the occasional apostle :)

In the last year at the cabin we had used up the rest of the firewood so we needed to replenish the stock at the cabin, for all those campfires we have.  

It is a really good deal, you get a whole trailer full of wood for around 100 bucks.  Can't beat that!

Beautiful St. George

Dunes 2012

Blue Angels air show spectacular

Last weekend we traveled to down to St. George with the Bunkers for an airshow featuring the Blue Angels.

It was amazing to watch the precision of them flying through the air and watching them fly so close without bumping into each other.  The formations were incredible and I had always heard how neat it was, but watching them in person was truly an experience.

We heard from someone that in order to stay conscious the whole time during the flight that they needed to do different breathing techniques and keep their body flexed and rigid to avoid passing out. I couldn't believe the talent those pilots had.  It was impressive!

They even had a wing walker there and the whole time I was nervous holding my breath she wouldn't fall.  You couldn't pay me to walk out on the wings of an airplane while it was up in the air!

The temperature was perfect but it got a little bit windy near the end. The little ones had gotten tired and so had we so decided to head out.  As we started to leave a huge dust storm caught us and everyone else by surprise. It was definitely an adventure and we had such a good time.

{ Raspberry } Days

Raspberry days is a long standing Siebenhaar tradition.  This year was a first for Brian and we have never been able to come together before because it is on his birthday weekend.

Festivities include a parade, a night-time boat show, fireworks, contests, and our all time favorite, the craft fair.  We had a great time wandering the booths in search of something fun and quirky to take home. 

We ate so well that we spoiled our dinner that night.  None of us were hungry because of the Navajo tacos, refillable sodas, fresh barbecue, scones, kettle corn and snow cones!  But boy was it delicious.
