We had a wonderful time in Cooper Landing (and Seward) last weekend at John's grandpa's cabin. Our friends, Kyle and Natalie, and their son, Kaleb came with us. We drove down Saturday and got set up. As you can see we had to saw our own wood for the campfires. Kyle and John did a great job cutting and chopping all of the wood for us. We set up little forts for the boys to make it easier for them to sleep since the cabin is just one big room. Levi was okay with laying down and going to sleep but Emerson was feeling a little left out especially because the adults stayed up a little later than all of the kids. Everyone eventually fell asleep and although we didn't get good sleep we still got some. On Sunday we drove about an hour to Seward to enjoy the 4th of July festivities and watch Mount Marathon. This is the shortest marathon but probably one of the hardest because it is a mile and a half up the mountain and a mile and a half down the mountain.(The 4th and 6th pictures show the mountain) The first place woman ran it in 51:48 and the first place man ran it in 44:40. This race is fun to watch even though we only really have ever watched the finish. (One of these years we will remember our binoculars). We left Sunday night and headed back the cabin for some dinner and card games. Monday, we woke and got things packed up and headed back to real life. The last picture is all of us standing in front of the cabin and the second to last picture, well, is John having a little fun with Emerson. What's amazing about a child being thrown into the air is that they are so trusting because they have no idea what could happen and Emerson was smiling the entire time! (Sorry this whole thing is underlined, I am not sure what happened.
