Our Trip To The Cabin



This past weekend we took some friends and headed up to the old Cabin at Bear Lake. We had so much fun just Relaxing, Boating, and riding The 4 Wheelers. We did however have a small incident with the boat. We packed up and headed to the beach in the boat. The guys went out and played for a while and the girls chilled on the beach with the kids, when they came back they said that the battery was getting low on juice, and then the battery went dead on us. Now this can be a small problem when it is starting to get cold, dark and you have 12 kids under the age of 5. Luckily we found an awesome family who was willing to take Nate around to the marina to get the battery out of his truck to temporarily put in the boat until we made it back. Now you have to know that the marina was on the other side of the lake so we are talking a 30 minute drive. While Nate was gone we realized that he left his keys to his truck in the boat, so he had to break into the truck to get the battery. When he returned they weren't sure if the battery was going to work and thought it was a bad idea to load 12 kids in the boat and get out in the middle of the lake in the dark and have the battery stop working, so they left us girls and the kids behind and headed across the lake and said if they were not back in and hour to call search and rescue. So this nice family took us and our 12 kids into their cabin and fed us and kept us warm. The boys did make it across the lake and brought the cars back to get us. It turned out to be a good thing because we made friends with this cute family.Thanks Kortni and Karli. Besides the boat incident we had a great time and want to thank everyone who came and made it so much fun.
