Stain On!

Let there be Color!
Joel and his crew showed up first thing in the morning and were done by the end of the day.

Windows, doors and rock covered in plastic.


Staining away.



Voila! Finished.


Some of the landscaping we did on Saturday and the stain closer up.


It looks awesome! I did not get great pics b/c it was getting dark but you get the idea.

(FYI: the piece of plywood over the front door will be replaced with a window when it arrives.)

In Goes...

The Grass Amphitheater
A missions group of 30+ from California put in over 7 hours of labor laying sod.
AMAZING!!


Let it Rain!

Better Yet, Let it Sprinkle!
Ephraim, UT Youth Group
Ben and Candice B. brought their youth group to Big Canyon for a week of hard labor. They were awesome!! They dug sprinkler trenches, threw big rocks, and layed sprinkler pipe for the grass amphitheater. They also worked on projects at the cabin.

The Result: Dirty Kids!


Because the group was smaller we decided to have them in our home each evening for dinner. We were blessed to have them with our family.

Celebrated 2 Birthdays

Yummy cake!




Helping with dishes



Playing on the tramp




And just hanging out in the backyard. Lots of fun!

Thanks so much EYG!
