Labor Day Weekend



I told Jordan that I really wanted to do anything other than cleaning the new house for Labor Day.  It is one of the few holidays I actually get off of work and I wanted to do something fun so I suggested camping.  

We talked to Brad and Lindsey and they wanted to come.  We also invited some new friends of theirs, Brian and Lanie.  Lindsey has been talking about hiking to Tonto Natural bridge near Payson for months so that's where we decided to go.  We were going up Sunday evening after church and then on Monday we would hike and drive home. 

Lanie said that her Grandparents had a cabin in the area and would we rather stay there for the night instead of in tents. Ummm....YES!!  The cabin was gorgeous!! We felt like we were staying in a 5 star hotel.  It was so nice.  They were so nice to let us stay there. 

Lindsey brought us a pot roast, potatoes and carrots for dinner. I brought a salad and cupcakes for dessert.  It was delicious.    

That night we played catch phrase and a card game called scum until 3am!!  We had no idea how late it was we were having such a fun time. Needless to say we all slept in on Monday.

Lanie and Brian brought us breakfast and made us lunches to take hiking. We felt really spoiled.

 Hiking to the "waterfall".
It was rather disappointing, especially after the last waterfall we hiked to was havasupi.

It was a short but beautiful hike.

After hiking we stopped by a local pizzeria and had pizza, bread sticks and salad for dinner.  Soooo good.  We then came back to the cabin, showered and played more games while we waited for traffic to die down. 

It was the perfect trip.
