The Cabin

The Cabin, but before we go there - The Reunion!

The Neil & Joan Flinders Family Reunion - Held in our sweet little home town of Pleasant Grove on September 4-5.  We had a "sleep-over" at Grandpa & Grandmas (sorry - I didn't get photos, but there were scary stories and lovely peaches & ice cream!) The next morning we gathered down at Discovery Park & had a yummy breakfast - talked over a few things like the Cabin, how to celebrate mom & dad's 50th (coming up next year!) how could we ever organize a family photo with all family in attendance. There were all sorts of games to try and crafty items to experiment with and good conversation.  We love our family. Where are all those older boys?  I need some photos of you guys!!


ALWAYS good groceries at our family events.
Dad either has gloves or paper towels tucked in the back pocket.

The girls are adorable...the boys are elusive.




If you play too much on the merry-go-round
you feel like this (below)

Below you can see Grandma begin leading the chorus 
of all the vehicles' alarms going off together. 
We crack ourselves up!
Thank you Lisa & Scott for hosting a great event.  
We left for the cabin early so you might have to
 go to another family members
blog to see what they had for lunch!! 
 :)




Now off to one of our favorite places on this earth! 
 THE CABIN.   Manti, Utah
In 1966 my dad began building this little gem.  Last year there was a new addition added and it is beautiful.  It's pretty rustic down there. Zero electricity. But high levels of love, exploration, R&R, memories and amazing toast!!  Jake brought two four-wheelers so we did a fair amount of exploration!  Milky Falls, the historic Nielsen Cabin & Logger Lake where the fish are plentiful and FAT! The food always tastes better there and there is no cooler tire swing in the universe. 
Enjoy our little slide show. You can click on the photos and view at your own speed.
