Over-nighter in Payson

A couple of weekends ago our friend Dave and his wife Alyona invited us to go to their cabin in Payson. We headed up after work on Friday. When we got there we got a fire going to warm us up. It was pretty chilly up there. There was still a little bit of snow on the ground. We just had a relaxing evening talking and watching movies. We also made Daves favorite pizza. Something I have never tried or even heard of. We had a frozen pizza dough that we let thaw and then for the toppings we put cheese, imitation crab meat, and tomatoes. I thought that sounds and looks disgusting but when I tried it it really wasn't that bad. I don't think Levi really liked it that much, but I didn't mind it. We also made an original pizza with pizza sauce, cheese and sausage so Levi would have something to enjoy too.
On Saturday we got up and got ready and went out for a hike. We went to a place called box canyon. It is next to the R bar C boy scout camp. We hiked down a canyon to a river. The weather was great. I even got a little to much sun and got a little burned. We had a great time. It was good to get away, even for a night, after a long week of work and school. We had a great time and hope we get to have more get-aways soon!!!!!

Hiking down into the canyon. Off to the right on a cliff that overlooks the waterfalls there was a small plaque that appeared to be a tribute to someone's dog. It was a wooden plaque with a picture of a German Shepherd and the name "Bear" was written on it. It was just leaning against the base of a tree.
