This weekend, we took a trip up to Zach’s cabin with some of my friends.  It was originally supposed to be a couple’s trip, but eventually turned into a Girl’s Trip…plus my husband and Kristina’s fiance, Jessie.

We spent the whole weekend lounging and talking, with a little bit of hot tubbing and snacking mixed in.

The majority of the weekend, all four of us girls spent our times talking and snacking all together on the same piece of furniture, so naturally…the boys wanted to take  a picture together.  With a football?  Don’t ask.

Saturday morning, Zach’s friend Clay drove up from Ogden to go fishing.  It was a big deal.  We made them sandwiches, but were betting they would be back before lunch.  Then Zach, Jessie, and Clay set off on their journey on the lake in that little metal boat.  They were gone for 5 + hours!  (Not catching a single fish, mind you).  Lets face it…Zach’s fishing pole he brought was a gift from his mom, and she got it at Restoration Hardware.  We were positive it was a decoration, and I think that their catch reflected it!

While the guys were gone on their “fishing trip”, the girls set off on a off-road adventure.  We drove up a trail to get a good view of the lake.  Obviously some were not as confident in my driving skills…

After we arrived back, safe and sound thanks to my amazing defensive driving skills, we ate dinner together.  After our meal, we decided to go out for a night ride.  We didn’t go very far, due to the temperature, but it was so fun to see the canyon and the lake as the sun was going down.

It was such a blast to get away with some of my friends, and my husband is always such a good sport.  Figuring out how to turn on our shows we wanted to watch, adjusting the temperature of the hot tub every five seconds, setting up all the 4 Wheelers and equipment.  He is such a champ.

We had a hard time leaving.  It is so relaxing up there and with no cell phone reception, it is like a little piece of heaven.

Sunday when we arrived home, my family decided to go up the canyon and have dinner.  So technically we spent the entire weekend in the mountains.  We had cheeseburgers and hot dogs, with a mean game of Phase 10.

Not to mention s’mores with Reeses’ Cups, my personal highlight of the trip…we all know I don’t love playing card games.

There’s no better way to spend summer weekends, in my opinion, than with family + friends + being outdoors!
