Camping - A Second Round

This time went much smoother! We left (almost) on time, remembered what we forgot last time... the overall process of getting on the road, and then setting up was much more painless. A few more trips and we'll be pros!

We were up at Mt. Hood RV Park on this trip with Mom and Mike. There was a pool and playground for the girls, and lots of hiking and walking trails. The girls had a great time singing and dancing on the picnic table next door, and riding their bikes. (Although, the road in front of our site was rocky, the road down to the pool was a good spot for Ali to practice.)

Merilyn still needs a little help from Daddy.

Trav and Mike played golf at Welches Resort on the second day while Mom, the girls, and I went on a hike/letterbox hunt. Again, we felt sure we were in the right location to find the treasure, but like last time, our searching lead to nothing! Argh! Although, we did have a nice picnic lunch along the way and Lily loved splashing around in the little creek. Along the journey Ali fell out of a tree a little like Tarzan might have done - and recovered quickly as she landed in a giant pile of leaves and grass.

I think this photo was before she flew out of the tree... but she did see the humor in it after she saw the size of the branch (twig!) she was attempting to hang on to thinking it would hold her!

Even though we didn't find the letterbox, Merilyn did find a treasure; her special rocks that she carried all the way home.
