First Annual Sabinal River trip

Back in September, we started what we hope to be a yearly tradition at a beautiful cabin on the Sabinal River in Utopia. We joined two other couples with all their kids and had a great time...

Our own little piece of the river.
Alli enjoying the river in her "energy tube" (i.e. inner-tube)...
Give some grown adults a rope tied to a tree next to a river and it's amazing how child-like they become!




That was truly a blast and we even mastered some flipping techniques after a few head and back busters.


Gotta have a bonfire and some s'mores!

That fire is hot!

Alli decides she doesn't need the chocolate and graham crackers- the marshmallow is yummy enough!

The purpose for this next pose with all the kids was just to get them all in one place for the silly string attack, but it turned out to be a great pic too... And now for the attack...Alli's first silly string experience. I think she liked it.

The kid's bedtime activity (a movie)...

The adult's bedtime activity...
Just a really cute pic of some of the girls...
And the 3 happy couples...
Some pretty nice photography by some of the older girls!

That place is awesome! The rope swing does look like a lot of fun!

If I tried to hoist myself onto a rope swing, I would end up dragging my *@! on the shore before ever hitting the water. I have NO upper arm strength. Maybe THIS is why Jack is so... um... unskilled on the rope swing at the gym.

By the way, my favorite pic is the last rope swing pic when someone is about to do a rowdy back flop. OUCH.
