A trip to Mount Pleasant

 

We had the pleasure on Saturday and Sunday of joining the extended Chard family at Brandon's Uncle Steve's property in the Wasatch Mountains.  Steve and Linda have 26 acres of mountainside to call their own, and were kind enough to invite Steve's brothers and sisters and their families for a Labor Day weekend get-together.  Their property isn't just beautiful - it's FUN!  Most of the property is wooded in oak, maple, aspen and evergreens, but a hike up the road from the cabin (under construction) takes you to a meadow that's great for playing tag, soccer, golf, or volleyball (my forearms are still sore), or for just relaxing in the sunshine.  Down below the cabin there are a couple of trailers set up and several tent spots have been tucked into the surrounding trees.  We gathered under the wooden canopy at the main trailer to eat, drink and socialize with so many aunts, uncles and cousins that it was hard to keep track of who belonged to who.  What a great setting for Vivian's first camping trip!  As if all that weren't enough to keep us occupied, in the hours before we left we got to experience a zip line AND a mountainside swing, both of which were absolutely thrilling!  Gavin is too small for the swing, but he did get to take a ride on the zip line with his dad:
