Our first day in Oregon was so fun. The reunion didn't start until the next day so we had a free day to spend with Grandma. She took us up to Tumalo Falls and taught the kids the art of butterflying.
Ever since I can remember my Mom has been fascinated by butterflies and she especially enjoys catching and identifying new ones. Armed with nets and a butterfly encyclopedia, we set out on our adventure.
Everyone was so excited to catch a butterfly!
The kids caught them and then ran to Grandma so she could identify them and then let them go....just to do it all over again.

Some of us got confused as to what we were trying to catch!
Our second oldest caught a really fast one!
Our oldest had to run pretty far to catch this one!
This one was content to sit on his finger for about five minutes...he felt so cool!!
I snuck up on this one getting a drink in the river.
It really is amazing how many different kinds of butterflies there are.
The scenery was fantastic!
After chasing all the butterflies (they really fly quite fast) we were all tired and hungry so we drove right up to the falls for a picnic lunch,
and a picture by the falls. What a fun day!!
