My parents recently built a cabin in Duck Creek, Utah. It's up in the mountains outside of Cedar City. This weekend was our first trip up with the Marz clan. I love it and can't wait to use it all the time!
On Saturday morning, we rented 4-Wheelers and a Rhino. It was my first time on a 4-wheeler ~ we all had a great time! They were fun to ride in to the village and on the trails that surround the cabin. Nate even got to ride on the Rhino. He loved it!

On Saturday night, Duck Creek had a "summer-kick off" get-together that we went to. Hanks BBQ was there as well as live music for a little dancin'. We have great family friends who also have a cabin up there so we met them at the Duck Creek village for dinner on Saturday night. It was fun to be up there with them in the S N O W!
Of course Nate spit out his food right as this picture was being taken!

Abbie saw the band on stage and had to be a part of it. She walked right up there and started dancing with the band. She had a great time and was so fun to watch.

The rest of the weekend was spent enjoying time around the cabin. We ate alot, played games & enjoyed our beautiful surroundings. We got to experience true Utah crazy weather. It S N O W E D and then five minutes later the sun was shining. Then snowing. Then raining. And it continued like this the entire weekend. It was actually pretty chilly at times. It was fun to see the kiddos all bundled up.

Nate loves all of his cousins, but he really enjoyed Kyle this weekend. Kyle was such a great older cousin. He let Nate crawl all over him & play! I love this picture of them. It looks like they are best buds even though they are 10 years apart!
Abbie loves her papa.
On Sunday afternoon ~ Sam, my dad & I went exploring. We walked around this beautiful pond and creek that's only 5 minutes from the cabin! I can't wait to go fishing next time.
It was nice knowing that we could just relax at the cabin without feeling like we had to do everything possible while we were there because we can go back whenever we want!
For memories sake, it wouldn't be a Marz vacation without someone getting sick. Nate & I had the stomach flu on Sunday....Ali and my dad on Monday.....and Daisy didn't feel well a few nights either. Hopefully we can all stay healthy in Newport!

Looks like a really pretty area! That is so fun that Sam and Anya have a place up there too. You guys all look so cute in your winter gear!!
Beautiful! I hear you all had a blast!
Loved all of the pictures! There's nothing like a little snow at the end of May! I'm sure you all will love a cool retreat during the hot summers of Vegas!
Wow! The surroundings look spectacular! Looks COLD! While we are burning up in Atlanta, you will be COOL!
Thanks for all the cute pictures, too!
Love,

I wonder if Hanks BBQ can set up shop in Munds Park, AZ???
Looks like a grand time, and the summer kickoff went off without a hitch - minus a few illnesses:(
Now, on to NEWPORT!!!!!
HOw fun! It looks so beautiful. Abbie got so big all of a sudden!
Yeah what a funny small world huh? We both stared at Wes' brother thinking it was him for a second. Of course there's differences when you stare long enough. But I was certain it had to be his brother. So it was SO funny when Alysa came and said hi after Sacrament Meeting. I loved it!
It looks beautiful! What a fun weekend and a fun family tradition!

Looks like a beautiful place with tons of fun things to do. Nothing like getting out in nature. How fun to have a place to visit regularly. I love the first picture of nate! So cute.
I'm excited to hear your taking up fishing. We will definitely bring our poles in July. We can't wait to see you guys. By the way, I love the pics of Nate in his little spiked hat. He's soooo adorable and getting big too!

What an amazing place I can see why my brother was so excited about it. Great pics as usual I especially like the one with Ali because there just aren't too many pictures of her ever posted. Glad everyone had a great time except for the flu thing.
It looks so nice up there! The picture of the cabin is beautiful! It will be so fun to have many family gatherings up there!
