We stayed a couple nights at my uncles cabin up in Smith & Morehouse, it was absolutely beautiful. It was nice for us to all stay together in one place.
While at the cabin, we explored, went fishing, the guys mountain biked, ran, had water fights, campfires and just enjoyed each others company. Seriously fun.
Benton and I woke up at 5:30am to go fishing one morning, just the two of us. It was beautiful to get to the lake and see the sun rise over the mountains. I attempted to fish but obviously got distracted by the beauty of where we were. I kept whipping out my camera instead of doing what we woke up to do.
We were also able to all go on a hike. However within about 10 minutes both of our girls started crying, so we turned back and let them play in the shallow part of the river.
Us girls obviously had to do girls night since we were all together. We started off by shopping at Nordstrom's Early Access Yearly sale. We ended up being in the one store for 2.5 hours, so crazy but the time flew by. Afterwards we ate dinner at the Dodo Bird Restaurant. Their turkey sandwich dipped in BBQ sauce is my all time favorite. I use to go to this restaurant with my grandma when she was alive, (my moms mother) so it seemed fitting we all went together. The night couldn't have been better!
One afternoon the kids did a lemonade stand and did EXCELLENT! They made $24 total, split between four of them, Cambree came away with $6 which she was excited to put in her bank (smart girl).
On their last night, my parents volunteered to watch all six grandchildren. Us three couples have never gone out together, so it was nice being able to go to dinner without distractions. The grandkids had fun, but I think my parents were happy to see us come back.
All in all it was a busy, fun filled week. Hopefully they'll dare to make the trip next year! Love you Hodge family!
