Peel Fam: Liam's bday and other stuff...

Liam looks forward to his birthday the day after his birthday happens. This year was no exception. He really wanted to go to the cabin one last time before school started, and with school starting a week later than usual, we made it happen.

First stop, see Grandma Parker in Blackfoot, Idaho:

Heather was pretty sad after this picture was taken. She said "this may be the last picture I have with my Grandma since she's 93."

She's livin in comfort with these gems though

Oh yes, and every cabin trip we force Eli to drive a bit, even though he's very hesitant to do so

We love to go down to the creek to have a picnic, float boats and just play around.

We brought Casey and Sam Cheney with us this time too.

I love this shot of all the kids walking down the stream

Eli was quite proud of the boat he created

Even Harley needed a minute to cool off

Painting rocks and other things is a must at the cabin

Grandpa said: "Hey, we're going to have a Hunger Games party tonight!" He brought a flat screen and the movie and we sat out in the forest one night to watch it...so much fun.

There's a quaint little restraunt called "Boondocks" where we love to eat each year.

This was some yard art in the front that Eli just had to hold.

Just me and the girls

Liam loves the grilled cheese sandwich

We usually have a talent show of some kind too. Here's what Chloe and Kate threw together:

Kate was a little miffed that she couldn't make everyone's lunch as you can see on her face.

She decided to make a triple decker tuna

Here we are taking it easy and playing a competitive game of Phase 10. Kate won...

We decided to play "Survivor" too. This is a cabin favorite.

Here you see everyone trying to shoot the tin cans off the rock with the slingshot...

Everyone always looks forward to the firebuilding contest. The teams try and build their fires big enough to burn through the rope that's been strung across two chairs. Enjoy this video clip:

Had to capture Eli's face after blowing on the fire for 10 minutes
