24th of July weekend: PINE VALLEY with the Butterfields

We invited all the Butterfield clan down to the cabin in Pine Valley to spend the holiday weekend with us.  Mike and his family weren't able to come-- but everyone else was there and we had a great time.

The first day we headed down to the reservoir and had a picnic lunch and then took a little walk/hike/bike ride around the stream and lake.

 We made our way down to the reservoir and started fishing. Some of us just observed and others had pretty good luck catching some little fish. I think Bella and Gabi were the ones that did the most catching.

 The kids enjoyed playing together and exploring.

 Lincoln LOVES his cousins and hanging out with the bigger kids.

 Later that day we did some rhino and 4 wheeler riding, relaxing, did a nature scavenger hunt with the kids, and did smores and dough boys!

 We also had some yummy homemade rootbeer.  The kids liked watching it brew.

 The next day we went down to Veyo to go swimming in their pool and check out crawdad canyon.  We had fun swimming and then headed to the little creek and canyon.  The kids had fun trying to catch crawdads with hotdogs and going across the wood bridges.

We loved having the Butterfields down! hope they come again!
