We had a great time hiking, riding bikes, paddle boating with lots & lots of family time. We love our boys so much and we realize that while Levi is 17 and Triston is almost 15 there aren't going to be many more times that just the 4 of us are able to go on vacations.
We met a couple from Brentwood that were really nice, a guy named Frank was a couple of sites down from us and then we had "talk to himself guy" right beside us.
Triston was wonderful following me on his bike for 8 miles so I could still get my run in while we were there. Honestly when I finished I felt really good even though it was all up & down hills. It made me feel really good when Triston said "Mom, there is NO way that I could have ran like you did." Michael rode the bike a couple times around but didn't want to hurt himself so he stopped. It was a great opportunity for Levi to get some papers done for school that were due on Monday.
Friday went did some hiking then we went to the inn for all you can eat seafood buffet. They wouldn't allow me to get a veggie bar this time around though which kind of made me sick because there's no way I ate $21.95 worth of food but whatever, the veggies were still good.
Sat there were lots more people that filled up the campground so we rode around & looked at campers, hopefully there is one in our near future :) We did more hiking & paddle boats which included a race with Triston & I winning :) That night we went back up to the inn to listen to some story telling and some blue grass music, it was ok we'd preferred the music over the story telling.
We took our own fire wood but Levi took it upon himself to scavenge more for us :)
The boys tents all set up & they both did their own.
Michael finishing up our tent. I'm so proud of how he did,it had only been a week since his surgery.
Our "kitchen" area
Our "home" was at Section B #71
We did lots of sitting around the fire
The big falls had more coming out of it than it normally does.
Love these guys :)
Levi was all about posing for pics :) there are several of him doing just that.
Levi's first attempt at chopping wood, he did a great job. I forgot to take a pic of Triston chopping his though :(
The Cascade Falls were running full blast too and that water was so cold.
Michael took pics of Triston & me in the other paddle boat so I really need to get those from him.
The boys did a great job watching after Michael while we were hiking and also at the campsite, trying to keep him from picking up anything heavy. We had a great time but I was glad to be back in my bed Sunday night :)
