Parker and I flew out to Redmond, Oregon on July 4th to spend the weekend with my parents at Eagle Crest until Morrills and the boys got to Black Butte. Here I am packing...
My dad with his cool backpack from COLLEGE...
They took us up to their lot that they are building on at Eagle Crest...
They will have a beautiful view!!!
Monday was my mom's birthday and we went out to breakfast before heading to Black Butte to meet Morrills...
Parker found this great house to rent in Black Butte and it did NOT disappoint! Pictures don't do it justice but here are some...
We were SO excited to see our boys! It was the longest we'd ever gone (15 days) without seeing them and it was a sweet reunion. We grabbed Sno Cap Inn for dinner...
Silly guys...
Grandma and Kate...
Shane, Bart, Jackie, Tyler, and poor Luke who wasn't feeling well (luckily it passed pretty quickly)...
Michelle's birthday was the day before but we celebrated it since we were all together...
Petersens!!
Shane, Tegan, and Lucy...
Opening her presents...
The kids were beyond thrilled about the hot tub and spent MANY hours in it throughout the week...
They also LOVED the bunk bed room...there were six bunks for six kids!!
The next day we hiked Black Butte! It was a hot, steep, long hike and I am so proud of all the kiddos for doing so well!
All the grandkids!
My fam...
All the Petersens...
All the original Morrills (minus Christine!)...
Jack was my hiking buddy and we had a great time together, he was super chatty and sweet and it was a day I'll always remember with my Jackson Blayne!
The twins were the first to the top!!
I was SO proud of Tyce for walking the entire thing! Here he is coming to the summit...
He made it!
Here comes everyone else...
The whole fam (minus Christine and her family, who we missed so much!!) at the top of Black Butte...
Taking a break for lunch...
They were super tired on the way home from the hike...
When we got home we headed to the pool to cool off...
Tyler made yummy kabobs for dinner! My boys still talk about how good they were!
This table was sure perfect for all the cousins, many meals and laughs were shared here...
Kate and Tegan enjoying some ice cream...
Family prayers and cheer!
Beautiful Central Oregon sunset...
We couldn't believe how tame the wildlife was around our house! The deer, elk, and chipmunks would stand there waiting for us to feed them!
Everyone (except me, Bart, and Tegan) rented bikes and went for a bike ride around beautiful Black Butte. My boys loved it and Jackson and Tyce said it was their favorite thing of the week!
Tyce loved it because he got to ride with daddy...
Grandma giving baby Lucy kisses. She was SUCH a good baby the whole week!
More swimming...
Movie night...
More to come!!!
