In The Sticks

This Labor Day weekend, the Skidmores decided that we needeed a break. So, we all packed up our kiddos, blankets, air mattresses (our cabin isn't furnished yet), ice chests, bikes, running shoes, playing cards (what's a Skidmore vacation without Hearts and Scum), and headed for Show Low.

On Saturday, Carol and Ray Woodhouse invited us over to their cabin for some college football and IBC's.

I love this beast!
Sofia loves her grandma.
We were really hoping that Heidi and Greg could get some much needed relaxation, but 11 kids under 1 roof may have made that a longshot.
Cousins!!



Casey helped out a ton.
We learned that Lila is allergic to wool.

Even the kids get in on the card action. Hopefully their skills will pay off in the casino one day;)

What I remember most about your house as a kid: the kindness of your parents, how cool I always thought Sara was, nairing our legs in your bathroom, and your HUGE dog that terrified me. I remember always asking you to put the dog out when I came. That picture reminds me of your dog - and how much you loved that one too. I, today, am still terrified of dogs. How I ended up with a 65 pound one of my own...I'll never know.

Glad you guys could get away. And I really would love those frosting recipes if you get a chance! nat.robinson@yahoo

LOVE the pics. It was good times. A 4am extreme thunderstorm that woke the kids up didn't help the matter. . . However it is fun to see 11 cousins loving eachother up!
