Camping





After reducing the luggage for only one night. We ended up with a trunk full. The girls were ready to go. Mango freshly trimmed. We were packed and ready for smores, camp fires, and sleeping in a tent:) The smores were the best we ever had. I am thinking it is the really great chocolate.. white and milk. The general store lady recomended a ranbow flame packet. Great idea:) We went to sleep directly in the rocky hard ground... ouch. Mango woke Marc and I up for the deer eating our food. Marc convinced me everything would be okay on the picknic table. Whatever the deer put on a good show and ate every bit of our marshmallow.. they licked the bag clean! Marc got out and put the rest of the food in the car. Luckily it was only for one night and next time I plan to have a pillow and some padding under me. All in all these were good memories... espescially for the kiddos. They seemed so happy and they were humming and smiling most of the time!

Costco Rocks When You Have The Right People

Costco rocks when you have the right people. I mean even the samples were disappointing. A shock I know but... we made the best of it with pizza, hot dogs, and of course frozen yogurt. Can I just tell you that my soon to be sister in-law rocks most of all!!

Photo Journey

It's amazing how one persons creative influence can transfer to me.... then to my daughter.
As a family we took a photo journey through Portland. I allowed Chenoa to take hold of the camera. She did a great job! This is my favorite:
