Sherry was intensely interested

The weekend at the cabin was really fun.  Sherry had brought a candy game for us to play on one of the nights.  Most of the prizes were actual candy, but a few were not.  Katie was given one of the "nots," and it was a jar of nail polish.

Sherry was intensely interested.






Matty was in "seventh heaven" as he spent a lot of time with Dayle Jr.  Grandma Zucc & I have commented in the past that the two boys looked enough alike to be brothers, but alas, they are only first cousins.

I got a kick out of Erin and Dayle.  As you can tell Erin got splashed the most.  Those of us on the beach kept yelling for Erin to fight back, but fighting is just not in her nature.  Oh, she did try to splash him somewhat, but it was too little, too late.

Meanwhile, back at the van, the others prepared the food.  Panguitch Lake is mainly a fishing lake, so I was glad that nobody got any hooks caught in their feet.  Ever wonder how it got it's name?  The word "Panguitch" comes from the local native american indians and means "Big Fish".  So now you know!

After swimming, we visited the local mercantile store, for obvious reasons.  I don't think we bought anything, but the little room got quite a workout.  Ha ha.  The humming birds were out, so I took this really cool pic of one, from the front porch of the store.

Next to the store was a neat cabin.  I named it the honeymoon cottage; however I don't think I would have stayed there if it were my wedding night.  It is isolated though, and there are no windows, so nobody could peek in, and that is the only plus.

Later in the afternoon, we went salamander hunting!  

Don't you just love their little feet?

The kids love this activity, but you got to be fast.

Adam and Eve before the fall?

Table games!  Table games! Table games!  We are experts!  One of our favorites is called "Ticket to Ride!" 

Before we left the cabin, we did a general clean-up.  Dayle was insistent on being the one to vacuum the main family room, but everyone had their assignments.  We even stripped the beds and did the laundry!  No wonder the owners like to have us come!  Ha ha.  

Sunday morning, we all attended church at Brianhead.  Services were held in the town hall, and lasted under an hour.  Greg got to bless the sacrament, while Jason and Nick passed it to the congregation.  One thing I liked about going to church in this town is the fact that we did not have to wear suits.  About half of the men had a white shirt and tie, but casual wear was acceptable for both men and women.

Aw!  Life in the mountains is so relaxing - peaceful breezes and so relaxing.  While reading a book on the back deck, I heard soft thunder in the distance, so I took this pic.  You can almost picture a young girl in the right side of the clouds, blowing up a storm.

Soon the wind became stronger, so I took my book inside.  As I reclined I saw a beautiful scene.  It almost looked like a painting hanging on a wall, but it actually is the view out of a window.
