Yes, we went again. This camping thing is so much fun! This weekend we had our first 2-nighter at Trillium Lake near Mt. Hood. It was a great campground with so much to do. The boys had their bikes, which were fun to cruise around on. We also explored the trails, and played in the water. A highlight for Chris and Nate was that they got to stand in the front seat with their hands on the dashboard and drive a very slow 5 m.p.h. around the campground to go and buy wood. (daddy's idea!) They thought that was
so cool.
We camped by ourselves, but the Mistkawi Family came up on Saturday for a visit and to have dinner. It was fun to have guests!
The gratuitous 'boys poking at the fire' picture.
Breakfast time! Sausage, eggs, and orange juice. Everything tastes better when camping. If you look closely in the background, you can see how close we were to the lake. We even had our own little sandy beach.
Sunday morning we took a hike around the whole lake....the trail was 2 miles long. The boys made it without one bit of help. Yes, they were dragging by the end, but they really enjoyed the adventure of it.
Our favorite crazy tree with a big curve. Nate called it the giraffe tree. (his favorite) I wonder how many photos have been taken with people sitting in this very spot.
Dinner time! This picture just cracks me up how Chris looks like a crazed man going after that grilled corn. (double click on the picture to see it better)
Wading in the water at our little section of Trillium. The water was actually rather warm. No motor boats are allowed, only canoes and rafts.
David and Patricia were giving us grief about how we have gotten sooo into camping in just a few short trips. They were teasing me saying that when Dan and I are in our retirement years, we will probably end up being camp hosts and living in our R.V. for the summer with a driftwood plaque out front with our names blazed into it. Well, the next morning on a bike ride Christopher spotted this sign at the hosts spot #38..............I can just see us now! If this is where our path leads us in retirement, I promise to save the best spots for family and friends, and give you a good deal on bundles of wood.
