A Bittersweet Goodbye

Last weekend we spent time in our favorite summer family get-away - Aunt LouAnn's cabin. We have been going there as a family since 1984 and this year was probably the last time. This cabin is located up Big Cottonwood Canyon, right next to Solitude. It is in a beautiful setting and has provided us with years of fun and relaxation. It is a place dear to our hearts. Here are a few pictures of this heaven on earth:

What do we do at the cabin, you may ask. 

We eat - lots of junk!

We roast marshmallows and . . .

Thank you, Lou Ann, for your generous heart. You have provided us with a beautiful place to make lots of happy memories. We all cried when we left. It is hard when good things end, but how grateful we are for these many years of family fun and love!!!

Next year -- a new adventure!
