Camping





























Well we went camping and it was alot of fun! The drive down was stressful b/c we stopped at 4 towns to eat lunch and none had resturants, oh I take that back, 1 place did but they are closed every thursday. We finally ate at a grocery store that made sandwiches. So we get there and its beautiful and not crowded at all. Get everything set up and head to the beach, which could use some help, they say they are fixing it up, but there is a lot of branches and logs and stuff, but the boys had fun. So we get to the first nights sleep, which sucked, but to make it worse Patrick threw up and Jared had a rough time sleeping. The morning was better, well not for Don, he didnt have coffee so we headed to Colfax to get a coffee maker, and he ended up getting instant coffee, which he liked. We came back and the boys rode bikes almost the whole time, Joshua learned to ride with no training wheels on, so now he is a biking fool! We went to WSU so the boys could see where the Cougs play. they were so excited! We went to the gift shop and they all got a little souvinier (sp). By saturday I was ready to come home, that was the hottest day there, it was so freakin hot! But the great thing was at night it really cooled down alot, so it was nice to just sit by the camp fire with Don and talk after the boys went to bed. We rented horse shoes and played some games, Patrick kicked all of our butts. Mona had a blast swimming and she was taken for SO many walks, she was in heaven! The morning we were going to come home Jared cried the entire time until he fell asleep in the truck, talk about stressful! He is a homebody and being gone for so long started to wear on him, and he started to wear on us lol! So were home, and doing so much laundry! We went to the park today and tomorrow were going to North Bend to pick up my Jordy girl! I'm so excited she is coming to stay with us for a while! I need a girl around!! Well thats it for now!!

We are so glad you guys had such a good time...all except a few minor things it sounds like it all went fine. Joshua's fim debut riding his bike was so adorable. We are getting a set of horseshoes and really expect Mr. Patrick to show his stuff....So glad Mona had a good time too. The only thing bad about going camping is coming home to all the laundry....
We love you guys and am so excited to see Tara and the girls tomorrow...love you Mom

Do you remember all the laundry I had when we went camping years ago? The dining room had huge piles! Took forever! It is so worth it though. So happy you have the trailer now! You'll get a lot of use out of it and have memories like we did and tara!
