One of my favorite fall activities is going to the cabin on Brighton Ski Resort and taking advantage of a relaxing weekend. John, Mikelle, Ace and Linc came up for the long weekend as well. We hiked to Lake Mary, strolled around Silver Lake, took a ride through Guardsman’s pass, roasted hotdogs, fished and enjoyed the changing fall leaves. Taylor’s Mom and Aunt Jan always go out of their way to make each trip special. We frosted Halloween cookies, had a fishing pond for the kids and a puppet show for everyone.
John decided to wear his Halloween costume up. It was a real life looking Grizzly which is not uncommon around those areas. We decided to play a joke on Taylor’s Uncle Ron when he arrived the next day. Everyone was in on it and it worked out perfect. When Ron arrived, everyone was talking about the Grizzly they saw the day before up the mountain. John put on his costume and headed up the hill a few yards. Jan asked that everyone go out the back door for a family picture. Just as she was ready to take it, she yelled bear and grabbed all of the kids and ran inside the cabin. Ron and Taylor stayed outside and were admiring the bear as he was scratching his side along the tree. John did a great job mimicking a bear. Then Taylor said he wanted a closer look and headed up towards the bear. As Taylor was getting closer, Ron started yelling at him that he didn’t think it was a great idea. Taylor must have gotten a little close because the bear started running after Taylor on 2 legs and Ron finally realized it had to be a costume.
