Butterfield Camping Trip 2010

It was time for our annual Butterfield family camping trip - and this year we ventured out to the Ohanapecosh campground at Mount Rainier National Park. It was a beautiful place to camp, and we'll definately go back again.

Beautiful Mount Rainier - view from Sunrise

If there is a mountain, Drew must ride up it. Coincidentally, some of his biking buddies had previously planned a day trip to Mount Rainier to ride up to Sunrise. So we dropped Drew off at the bottom of the steep, winding road and the kids and I drove to the top to wait for them.


The whole gang, minus Joanne and Krysten
(David and Madi, Mom/Grandma, Drew and Megan, Kade, Cole, Jared, Dad/Grandpa, Parker, Ryan and Cameron)


The campsite was full of logs and trees to climb on, and lots of pinecones for "pinecone fights". It was a great place for a bunch of boys to spend the weekend.


It was VERY foggy at Paradise! Here's Megan and Madi riding in style.

Megan and I at Sunrise - beautiful - and lots of mosquitos


Grove of the Patriarchs - Dang! That's a big tree!
