Gone campin'

The girls had a day off of school on March 11th, so we decided to take the weekend and go camping. We went up to Mt. Hood to a place called Mt. Hood Village. I had wanted to go camping on the coast, but it was a good thing we were headed to the mountains because that was the awful day of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. The coast was having tsunami warnings, so we wouldn't have been able to camp there. We got there on Friday afternoon, and it was a beautiful, sunny day. So the girls played at the playground for quite awhile and I pushed Noah around in the stroller until he fell asleep.

Bella loves slides...she went down this one over and over again. Love the static-y hair!

Then, Garrett took the girls swimming in the pool. Noah and I watched from the side.

Saturday and Sunday it was cold and rainy, so we hung out in the trailer. Garrett took the older two girls to the little arcade place they have there and while Noah had a nap, I did a rainbow craft with Paige and Bella and then we played Candy Land.

This was our rainbow picture we made from torn paper. Paige loved it! Later in the day, Garrett took the girls swimming again and I stayed back in the trailer with Noah while he napped.

The girls doing some St. Patricks day cross word puzzles and word finds and coloring leprechauns.

The day were leaving...Lydia pretending to follow a map to somewhere...

One last feeding before we take off...

Hike down to a little river before driving home

Throwing rocks in the river...

Poor little guy was SO tired...

Noah and Bella crashed on the ride home. It was a fun trip. It was our first camping trip of the year and the only the 2nd camping trip since Noah was born. We really need to get out more!!
