Cabin Progress




We see the red frogs all the time but this slightly larger (about the size of two quarters side by side) was a rare siting by our shower.  We were so excited to see him hopping around


Some mornings ya just gotta lay on the couch and take care of baby

Joepah came to visit us and brought a surfboard for Woody!

I took a yoga class in Spanish.
I wasn't too lost. haha

We planted carrots a few months ago.  I've had dud carrots in previous gardens so I was determined to have good results this go around.  We tilled the soil, researched water conditions, and how/when to thin the seedlings.  Woody and I were waiting for our plentiful harvest. . . 

We had total duds again but Woody could not have been more excited about the "baby carrots" he was pulling out of the ground.  I can't even imagine his happiness level if we had been able to grow normal sized carrots. Maybe next year! 


Team Hide and Seek
Mom is always "it"

Nature soup from the garden.
 Technically its edible but we usually "feed it" to the red frogs 




October


This guy is just determined to have chin scars


some days are HOT

Oh my goodness, does this girl love a bubble bath





And so does this guy

She just cannot wait one more second to go swimming.  This family takes FOREVER!
So. Much. Drama.

A rock drop off going as expected. . .
The kids and I just watched the shenanigans unfold all morning



Cabin Progress















The Canafistula tree next to the cabin fell.  Thankfully, no one was hurt and no damage was done to the cabin.  It fell right on the path up from our house to the cabin.  It crushed a large part of our hand rail and a bunch of trees we have been babying from seeds that we recently planted but other than that, no damage to report.  We are just bummed to lose such a cool tree that was shading the cabin.
