We love Pineview Reservoir. Really REALLY love it so much. This year was perfect in every way. From the super soft sandy beaches and "just right" cool water, to the nights by the campfire, to celebrating my awesome sis-in-law's birthday (she is the Thelma to my Louise), Pineview is always one of our favorite camp spots EVER. We had such a fun time and we all complained when it was time to pack up. We were there for four days and spent two full glorious days right on the beach. We brought our food for the day down with us and stayed until dusk. One of those days we had a jet ski and even though the water was a little rough, it was still a total blast. My kids could not get enough of the water! They were like fish all day everyday, especially Sieauna. They are looking like little golden sun kissed beach babies! They good part about this is that they slept like rocks after playing so hardcore all day long. Alex met a little friend, Dakota, who is the same age as him. The were inseparable and played together all day long for three days. Their family even took Alex boating with them for a bit! They were so cute together. When it was time to say goodbye, we exchanged phone numbers and Dakota said "I wish I had a brother and I wish it was you". It was so sweet.
One night Justin and Ken took the kids fishing and Sieauna caught her first fish! It was soooooo cool. She caught a very small large mouth bass. She was consumed in pure joy and was so proud. We were so thrilled for her. It really sparked a desire to "do it again!"
Justin toted the Big Green Egg and cooked up "do it yourself" pizzas. Total hit (even if it was a little time consuming). He rocks the Egg and we really should just build a cart on the trailer to tow it permanently :).
I miss the sound of the waves. I miss the sound of the boats and miss the warm sand between my toes. I wish we could go back NOW but alas, there is that thing called "reality" that we must return to. Ahhhh well, it was magnificent while it lasted.
