Lower Butte Creek Falls, just a short drive and hike from our house.  The more we explore, the more hidden gems we discover.

Our First Father's Day Family Camping Trip: Butte Creek Falls

Just 30 minutes from our house is a great little camping spot with a short hike to both Upper and lower Butte Creek Falls.  This is the upper and smaller falls, but would make a fantastic swimming hole on a hot summer day.  The water was a little chilly this time around as this is direct snow melt right now.  As you can see, our first choice for a camp site was still under about 8 ft. of snow, so we had to head down to lower elevations.

They grow up so fast.  Little Sophia is now almost 9 weeks old.  She has slept through the night for five days now (I hope I didn't just jinx it) and is more and more alert every day.  Mommy is back to work this week and Daddy and Mema are having a great time hanging out with her.
