We went up to the Finch cabin right after work on Thursday. We wanted to get an early start on the weekend. Curtis had us all packed and ready to go. I guess we couldn't convince others to join us so for the first night it was just us. We had a great dinner and after Max fell asleep we roasted marshmallows and made smores. 
The next morning we headed back to Payson. We needed to pick up some more gas for the generator. After a quick half shower and a trip to the store, we went back up the canyon. My dad joined us for lunch and watched camp while we went on a walk around the lake.
It was a beautiful day at the Lake. We made it around once and then we were all too hot and tired to do it again.
Max fell asleep before we even finished. Curtis wished he could have slept too.
Back at camp we built a fire and played some games. Curt's parents and brothers joined us for dinner. Hot dogs at the cabin are my favorite kind.After everyone left, we started to get ready for another night alone. This time we were going to put some coal in the furnace to keep us warm all night. I woke up at 11:50 we an awful headache. I woke up Curtis and told him it was time to go home. We packed up and got home by 2. I showered and put on clean pillow cases - it felt so nice to be back at our house, clean and in my bed.
The Fourth was great! Max let us sleep in until 9 (we needed it after the night run home). He seemed happy to be back in his crib. We ate lunch at papa Keslie's and went to Jim and Christie's for a holiday BBQ. After the BBQ Curtis put on a firework show put to patriotic music.
Sunday we had Issac's blessing and the band concert. Max loves to sit in his chair and act big. (Max had his 9mo appointment today. He is 30 inches long and weighs 19.6 lbs.)
We love going to the band concerts and miss having all of my family around to enjoy them with. We especailly miss Grandma and Grandpa Finch. It's not the same without them.
