And to think we should have been in Cancun!

This last weekend was crazy! We wanted to go to the cabin for our anniversary but of course I can't leave Ethan behind. The cabin is his favorite place ever. First of all Brett was helping a guy load some pipe onto a trailer and the pipe rolled up his leg bruising and cutting it. Thank goodness he's fine. The pipe was very heavy!! The next day we go fishing at Lily Lake. Fished for about 2 hrs and decided it was time to go since we didn't bring food or drinks. We have never done that before. Anyways we all get in the car and Brett goes to start it and NOTHING! There was no power no nothing! It has never not started the first try. Boy did we fell sick. No food-no water and now no way back to the cabin. Not knowing what was wrong...battery...altrinator...? There were a lot of people there so we asked if anyone had jumper cables. Nobody did so Brett and another kid tried to pop the clutch. Didn't work. Finally we found someone with jumper cables but DIDN'T WORK. I called my brother and he was there within 2 1/2 hrs. It takes about 2 hrs. to just to drive to the cabin. He brought us a battery to see if it would work and as soon as they hooked it up it STARTED! We all left to the cabin and haven't had any problems since. Through all of that we were able to have a good time and enjoy each other and play in the water. We were there for about 8 hrs that day. Everyone there gave us each a bottle of water and some snacks. There are still some great people out there. Ethan had made a few friends throughout the day and had a great time not really knowing what was going on. We feel very blessed and taken care of. I will post the pictures soon.

I was thinking when I read your Facebook comment that our friend Elvin is up at Lily Lake right now.
He was telling us how beautiful and uncrowded it is. Maybe you met him that day.
Glad you made it back safe. Family is the best!
Ooh and I was sad to lose you. They told me right before sacrament started. I think you'll be great in nursery. You'll have my two little ones, and probably Neil too since Aaliyah is taking to it too well.
