High on the mountain top

This past weekend we went up Cedar mountain with our friends, Curtis and Christina Barnum.  We stayed at their cabin and the men cut trees for fire wood in preparation for this years winter.  The men cooked a mean dinner!

It was so fun being up in the trees.  The kids, once they were forced, had fun playing in the dirt, with sticks outside.  It was a little rainy and kinda cold but it didn't dampen our spirits.

The Barnum's have a fun cabin with a master bedroom and a loft that had like five beds for when their whole family gets together.  And not to forget a basketball hoop so the can play horse and other games.

The drive up and back are one of the best parts about the whole trip with the pretty wild flowers.  Unfortunately we didn't stop to take any pictures.

And the Aspen trees, aka "money trees."

And this helicopter that they use for logging.  It pics up a tree trunk with a cable and drops it in a neat pile for the loggers to pick  up.  Pretty fascinating to watch.

And we think someone was watching the helicopter too much that they didn't notice this deer bounding out of the woods.  It was crazy!  We were on a big turn and could see this doe bounding full speed towards the road.  Unfortunately the other car didn't see it and they hit each other.  The deer flew back in the air with its guts spilling and glass flying in the air from the head light.  The people in the car were okay but I can't say so much for the deer.

Our booty.  I was surprised at the size of the logs that Curtis and Kurtis got in the trailer.  They got a pretty good haul.  We had a ton of fun and can't wait to do something like that again!
