Labor Day Party in the Woods





Every year, we meet up with some good ol' friends from Seattle and head out camping. This year brought us to a State Park in the shadows of Mt. Saint Helens. We have a great time sitting around the fire, taking turns making the meals and wandering through the nearby hills. Of course, over the years the camping has changed somewhat. Kids! No, we don't have children. But some of our friends do, and this keeps us all on the lookout for wandering toddlers and fallen pacifiers. Things have changed, but we're having as much fun as ever before. Our schedule works around nap times and early bed times... but maybe that part hasn't changed at all!

Another change might be our furry friend Peeka. She likes to keep us on our toes... eating scraps that aren't scraps and barking at anything moving in the woods. Fun fun!

We also got to take our new wheels into the woods for the first time. As you can see from the photos, we packed 'em in and tried it out. It was great. The bed comfortably sleeps two of us and uncomfortably sleeps two of us and the dog. We'll work on that. We're taking our car-camping tent back... we're hooked on the VW.

We recently had family photos taken in the Columbia Gorge by a wonderful couple who travel around the world with their two kids taking pictures. I just love how they turned out!

Since my last post, a lot has happened in our household.  We took our first camping trip of the year to Silver Falls State Park and survived!  Cora even got to try smores for the first time.   Edie turned 1 on June 4th and just a few weeks before took her first ambulance rider to the ER due to an infection - ugh!  She's fine now...thankfully. We figure it's our first of many trips to the ER with two very busy little girls.  (On a side note, Cora thought riding in the ambulance was really fun!) I came down with a ridiculous case of Poison Oak that was awful for about three weeks and continues to haunt me.  It seems I'm quite allergic!  Thankfully, no one else got it.  Dave drove himself to the ER in the middle of the night for an emergency appendicectomy that ended up being (and still is) more complicated than normal because of the scar tissue left in his stomach from the car accident.  That was a few weeks ago and his...
