Camping

We went camping this last weekend with my sister and her kids and my parents in Florence Oregon. My family went there when I was pretty young and had a great time but I don't remember it. We had a pretty good time. We found out though that camping with a 5 month old baby is harder than camping with out one. We went to the ocean, a lake, Doug went sand boarding and road on a sand dune tour thing, the kids and I went shopping with my mom and sister and her kids, and we hung out at our campsite. We were supposed to get to Florence on Wednesday but my sister called and said it was raining there and so we stopped and stayed in Portland with my other sister Michelle. We went to a place called Out of this world. It had big bouncy toys and lots of other fun things for the kids to do. We left for Florence the next morning and stayed until Saturday morning.

This is how Jordan felt about Out of this world. He was tired and sad while we were there.

Jackson at the ocean. Right when we got there he ran down to the water and walked in and got knocked over by a little wave. My brother in law pulled him out of the water but Jackson was soaked. He started shivering after a little bit so I had to put him in some warm sweats.

We fit an air mattress, portable crib, bassinet, plus our luggage inside and still had a lot of room to spare. It also was good at keeping the sun out in the morning so it didn't get too bright too early and we were able to sleep in some.

Your trip to Florence looks like great fun. So glad to see pictures - they're worth a thousand words. And your little photographer is keeping up with technology.
What beautiful soil in your yard. Sorry to hear you didn't get any strawberries to eat.
