Our version of camping

This past long weekend, we dusted off our trailer and loaded it up and went camping. It's been way too long since we've been camping and it was a good weekend to go. We were going to go somewhere along the coast, where we usually go, but surprisingly every place was booked, so we went the opposite direction and headed to Mt. Hood. There's a fun campground there called Mt. Hood Village that some friends have stayed at and enjoyed, so we thought we'd check it out. It was a nice place. I hate to say that in 10 years of living in Oregon, I've never been up to Mt. Hood. I guess it was time to change that.

We left Friday afternoon and got there Friday evening and came back on Monday afternoon. It's so nice to get away and just hang out as a family. We swam and watched movies and read books, drove up to the ski lodges and watched people ski, we even got to have a fire one night and roast hot dogs. On Sunday night for Valentines, we did fondue for dessert and dipped strawberries, bananas, marshmallows and pretzels in chocolate. YUM! On Monday, it was sunny and beautiful, so before we left, we took a hike in the woods and walked through a little river. It was so pretty!

I forgot to take our camera with us on the trip so I had to use my phone to take the pictures.
