What does a bathroom shower have to do with Zach's birthday? Usually nothing, but this year, we used his birthday as an excuse for a little get-away (Afton included) to a nice little cabin in the woods. A very large, expensive, expansive cabin in the Heber, UT Wolf Creek Ranch kind of woods... This shower was just the kind in every room.
(We actually didn't even use it though, because downstairs, connected to the work out room was an awesome steam room with a rain shower... Oh, I'd take one of those in my house any day!)
And this was the fireplace, flat screen TV included in each room. Each room also had it's own thermostat, too.
Down in the valley, it was a nice 55 degrees. Up in the mountains it was bitter cold and the snow pack was INCREDIBLE. It's no wonder the pillars holding up the porch were massive stone- look at that snow!
Sadly, I didn't get pictures of the rest of the amazing house but it was just fun to get some R&R, read Dr. Suess's biography, watch some much missed Disney channel and TLC and eat Zach's yummy creations.
Oh, did I mention we were not alone? Rick Walton (the friend of the Kimball's who own the place) also came up- he had the keys :) but it's not like we even saw him- the house is that big. He's actually a famous children's book author who has met pretty much any other children's book author in the world...Luis Sachar, Gail Carson Levine, Shannon Hale, Brandon Mull, Robin McKinley... Name 'um, he knows 'um! Click here for a list of his awesome books! http://www.rickwalton.com/navbook.htm#Picture Books
Anyway, getting back to Zach's birthday- #31! He celebrated at Toucanos with his family on Thursday, at the cabin on Friday and Saturday, at Sunday dinner with his family again, and then with just our family on Monday night- before and after class (he is one hard working guy!) and then just Zach and I went to dinner on Tuesday night for one last hurrah... We stretch our birthdays to the max!
And they are lit again! He had to put them in water to finally get them out... Notice the decor? So, Phineas and Ferb just happens to be our favorite Netflix at the moment. Thank you Disney store for letting us hear "Curse you, Perry the Platypus!" every time Dufenshmirts gets bumped!
We love our daddy!
