PLEASURE IN THE PINES

We were able to spend of few of our days (and parts of days) up the Weber last week.



Sarah and Jeff came up Friday evening and Saturday. Note Jeff's official "Edgemont" t-shirt.



We went on the traditional walks down the lane. (We didn't even go by the rickety bridge tho')



Mom and Dad went on a morning walk one day and came across a momma moose and her baby taking a rest during their morning walk. (This is above uncle Mel's cabin.)



On one of our many drives down the canyon we drove by the former Hodgkinson cabin in Midway. The new owners have painted the siding red and put a roof extension over the front deck.



It's always fun to do a bit of improvements and repairs while up the Weber. The water supply enclosure got fixed up.

Dad decided it was time to do a proper handle replacement job on the antique wheelbarrow. All the boys wanted to join in on the project.



We replaced one of the rotted porch rails and a broken stair tread on the "back" porch.



But there was still time for a little fun --- games at night and floating the wide flowing river in the heat of the day. Mom and Dad had their own float on Friday afternoon and then Sarah and Jeff joined in on Saturday. It was the most water for August in memory.



Did we say the river was a little chilly at first?



It was a fun, wet, cold river especially for a couple of old troopers like Mom and Dad.



Mom enjoyed hanging out with her baby girl and baby boy.



The Dave Cornwalls were invited up on the weekend. They joined us on Saturday evening through Sunday. All 6 came + a friend of Lizzie's, a turtle, a dog and for good measure they invited a neighbor boy (from O. Lewis) to spend the night.

Jeff found a way to cross the river without getting wet and cold.



It was rare August that Jeff and Sarah floated clear down from starting a Mel's.
