Ensign Ranch

Last weekend we enjoyed some family time up at Ensign Ranch.  It's an LDS owned property in Cle Elum, WA.  We stayed in a family cabin and it turned out to be a lot of fun.  Josh always loves to be outside so he definitely enjoyed himself.  We got there Thursday evening and had dinner, smores and spent some time around the fire. 

the first "armload" is free.  we wanted to be sure to take advantage of that.

doesn't he just look "old" here.  I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this one.  Growing up too fast!

The next morning we went canoeing on the lake there.  Josh was so excited to get his life-jacket on.  (Seriously he was excited.  But this is coming from a kid who loves to have his bibs put on and wears my apron around the house on a regular basis).  Once we got in the canoe, Josh was frozen.  Only sat in my arms and didn't really move much from there.  It took him a good 45 minutes before he wanted to get up and start moving around.

He loved touching the water and belly laughed while spitting into the water.  Daddy taught him that one.

Even though it was a short visit, we enjoyed little family getaway.  The family cabins at Ensign Ranch are open year-round.  We plan on visiting the cabins again sometime this winter, that's if I'm not too huge to go. :)
