This past weekend we spent our holiday at Dallas's families cabin up close to Monte Cristo, his family has a gorgeous cabin with the river flowing right in their backyard!! We planned on going up on the 24th to do some tubing but quickly decided it would be really fun to spend the night away from home; we packed up and hit the road!! Dallas's family all spent the holiday there eating, laughing, and just having so much fun! Dallas, me, Hunter (Dallas's cousin) and friend all tubed down the river together (no pictures) and all but Dallas had a blast! Dallas shined every rock from beginning to end, haha I wish I had a waterproof camera to take a picture of him folding his arms with a grumpy look on his face...it was really cute!
Unfortunately I have done something to my calf muscle...pulled it, sprained it..my leg just kills! So we weren't able to go on a hike and I was really bummed; but I really want my leg to get better for our trip next week!! That night my leg was hurting so bad, I have to find just the right position to put it in and that takes awhile, Dallas's sweet mom who runs her own little pharmacy, ha, gave me a muscle relaxer! Oh my goodness AMAZING, it was only a half a pill and in less than 10 minutes I was feeling pretty relaxed so relaxed I couldn't hold my head up straight, everyone was just laughing and telling Dallas he needed to get me to bed but I just would look up at him and say, "No honey...my head doesn't need to go to bed I can't even feel my head! " I don't even remember saying that!
The next day we tried tubing again and this time Dallas doubled up his tube and we headed down the river, and I was the one not having any fun! There were some pretty good size (tubing) rapids, and it was the very first one I flipped straight off my tube, lost my tube and Dallas had to chase it down. I flipped and felt like I hit every rock and tree the whole way down. It was fun...sorta!
Dallas's shorts he wore going down the river...looks like he had a little accident! ha, Don't worry its just dirt from all those now shiny rocks!
Then right before we left to go home some nice neighbors informed us that the reason the power was off was because a tree had fallen down right on our cabin road, blocking us in, we all got so excited if we were blocked in I guess that meant we didn't have to go home; nice thinking! Dallas's dad and grandpa quickly got thinking of what to do, they didn't have a chainsaw so that made things a little more difficult! After a few chops of an axe and a car pulling it out of the way...we unfortunately didn't have an excuse not to go home!
Dallas getting ready to go chop the tree...excuse the outfit, we were limited on our clothes after we got them all wet!

Dallas' dad doing the actually chopping!!! And an action shot!
Dallas chopping off the branches!
After the tree was out of the way Dallas wanted to start chopping it for firewood..he is strong but after about 5 minutes and not really getting anywhere he gave up!
Of course I had to give it a try!
It was so nice to step away from home for a night and relax out in the mountains and just being able to have lots of fun!!!
