Sites 10 & 12 is where the Mireles & Crombie family resided for a weekend. Gorgeous sunny weather. Cold night of partial sleep. Crombie site had stunning up close & personal Mt Hood View but the Mireles family scored on a blanket of stars in the sky at night, compared to the Crombie Kids only claiming to see 1 single star thru our skylight hole in our tent. 3 year old niece Lily loved her diamonds (which were gray rocks), 5 year old nephew Ethan kicked our butts in memory, son Nolan would not stay out of the marshmallows, almost 15 nephew Thomas is an amazing guitarist, Payton is a good sport for camping on a work night, Darla & nieces Alissa & April didnt hate their Uncle Alan when he had to fess up that "Snipe hunting" wasnt real . . . . that when they were all walking around in the dark clanging two rocks together to summon the furry clawless toothless creatures that there were really no such thing. . . . Elijah was deeply disturbed over it - he was looking forward to his 1st time hunting. Shawna is the Queen Camp Chef. . . . who made her man steak on the open fire & a full course breakfast in the morning. . . compared to her Aunt Amy who handed her kids string cheese & granola bars. Elijah & Austin were kings of finding camp wood, and made cute wooden stick boats to float down the river. Amy tore her jeans while scaling a giant log w/ millions of pokey things sticking out. Camping trip #1 of Summer 2009:
Weather - ideal but need air mattresses & more sleeping bags at night.
Location - great, $14, but next time prefer sml creek site instead of the river.
Note - Sounded like beach at night w/ light wind & river rapids.
Challenge - Amy try & enjoy camp cooking more like Shawna
