Camping in July

July 27th-29th we did a multi-family camping trip with the Lunde's, West's, and Rowles'. I may be the last one to post camping pictures, but it is still worth stating the adult to child ratio of 8:8. Of note is the ages of the kids, all 3 1/2 and under. Fortunately for us, three of them are not mobile yet. Next year will definitely be a challenge.

Friday morning we loaded the kids into the bike trailers and rode 7 miles into town (Cottage Grove) for breakfast. We finally finished eating around noon, rode to a park so the kids could play, packed up the trailers and rode 7 miles back. Soren and Karis took naps on the ride home. Saturday afternoon we went to Dorena Lake. The water was questionable but the toddlers had fun splashing around.

Vance did a great job entertaining the toddlers with B-I-N-G-O, Old McDonald, and a few other songs. He even kept them busy writing their names on the little magic writing board (I don't know what that thing is called).

Sunday is always a sad day when we have to pack up and go home. Fortunately, we top off the weekend with a trip to Prince Puckler's ice cream shop in Vance's old stomping grounds in Eugene. I can't wait til next year!!
