Pine Valley 2011

IMG_4836

We were able to go to Pine Valley, UT this summer to meet up with Rob’s family & spend some much needed time outdoors.

Any trip out to see our nieces is well worth it, we love these girls! They are just growing up too fast! We had fun hanging out in St. George one afternoon to get some Café Rio & chocolate concrete.

We went for a couple small rides, thanks for your infinite patience with me Rob! One of them was pretty rocky and slippery down a hill & I was a bit nervous… thanks to Micaela for suggesting we do a nice, easy scenic ride!

Saturday morning we went up in the hills and did some target practice. This was my first time shooting clay pigeons, its way harder than it looks! Rob, Scott, Dave & Jesse make it look so easy!

This was the first fish I’ve caught all on my own! That sucker was slimey! I’m not sure who caught more fish at the end of the day, Kelsey & Katelyn or Alyson. Don’t worry, I did clean the fish I caught & ate it. It was surprisingly delicious.

The rest of the time we had fun just hanging out, playing words with friends, cooking, or doing a little work around the cabin. I love that one of the five words in Addison’s vocabulary is iPad. She should be in a commercial!

It was gorgeous up there, I especially loved the sunsets and the rainy nights. Rob and I slept on the deck and we had some amazing rain and lightning storms.. Beautiful!!

As always, thanks to Alyson for all the great pictures!

You look so stealth with the gun. I am glad you came back alive from target practice. Looks like you guys had a fun time in the outdoors. What is chocolate concrete? It sounds delish.

THAT looks like a great way to enjoy summertime! The scenery looks gorgeous, fun time with the fam, fishing, shooting, engines -- it sounds like a great getaway. I'm quite curious about the chocolate concrete...is that painful?

Also, the song "I love a rainy night" popped into my head while reading your post...not that you wanted to know :)
