On Thursday night we returned from a relaxing 10-day vacation in Mammoth. We stayed in a perfect little rustic cabin near the shores of Twin Lakes and we had a wonderful time! We enjoyed several day hikes, a trip to the fish hatchery, shopping in town (including quite a few stops for $1.99 triple scoops from Rite-Aid), board games in the cabin, and fishing on the lake. The picture above is just one example of the beauty of God's creation that we were surrounded by daily. Thank you again Scanlon Family for letting us use your cabin. We were truly blessed by our time up there.
As always, it was great to spend time with Jacob and Stacy and we were so glad they were able to join us on this trip!
Mommy with her little Monkey
Not only is he excited to "a go a hiking Daddy" but he's also so proud of his new orange hat!
A little pow-wow with sticks, rocks, and pine needles.
We packed a lunch for Jonathan but as you can see he was more interested in eating rocks.
Aden had a blast feeding the fish at the fish hatchery.
Doesn't that backdrop look like a painting? It was real, I promise!
"A go a fishing in a boat Daddy?"
One afternoon Jonathan swiped this plum off the counter and played with it like it was a ball (batting it around, picking it up and throwing it, etc.) for quite some time. After about 30 minutes I noticed that it had gotten really quiet in the cabin and that's when I found Jonathan in the corner eating it! He had finally figured out its intended purpose! Anyway, it was totally mushy from all the playing but he loved it! I moved him to his highchair (to minimize the mess) where he proceeded to eat the
entire thing. I even had to fish the pit out of his mouth.
The family who owns the cabin is in the process of painting it, so Daniel and Jacob decided to help out by doing some of the work. They did a great job and they enjoyed themselves too!
Aden thoroughly enjoyed life in the mountains and woke up everyday excited about the adventures that awaited him.
Here is the little mischief maker who made his way INTO our cabin while Daddy and the boys napped on the sofa completely unaware of his presence! I was outside reading and didn't notice him until he was on his way out!! YIKES!

looks like you had a great vacation!! that is so scary that a bear got into the cabin, but good job for grabbing your camera!!!
A bear - are you serious?! :)
That sounded like an awesome vacation!
I'm totally serious! In fact, the following day he opened the doors to our mini van and climbed on in. We imagine he was hoping to find some snacks but all he found was some laundry detergent. Fortunately he didn't do any damage...he just left several big bear prints on the seats!
Looks so beautiful and so fun!!! I miss camping...and camping with you guys so much. One day! Fun pics. Love you guys!
