Summer's not over yet!

WE went camping at Jedediah Smith State Park last weekend with a bunch of people from our ward. It was so fun! It was in the redwoods of CA, so very beautiful. We hiked and swam and went to the beach, which isn't far away.
bad pic, but that's Logan on top

Camden and friend Tate playing Monopoly Deal before dinner Friday night.



We went camping with about 100 people from church. We had a potluck dinner, followed by a talent show. The kids and I ressurected our famous "Wishy Washy Washerwoman" song, to much applause.

Saturday was spent at the southern Oregon beach. It was cool, but the kids had a great time, of course!









A grove of Redwood trees was right across from our campsite-it was awesome-the kids were climbing all over the downed trees











What's better then a camping breakfast of pancakes, eggs and bacon? Especially for Blake who ran 10-12 miles on the boyscout trail that morning.









You can't tell,but Johanna's holding a tiny frog! We had a great time on Friday playing in this river. The boys collected tadpoles, and Johanna and I swam in the perfectly clear and deep water!

Looks like a dreamy summer campout. I can see the Ewok setting in the trees--so fun for your family! Glad you're having fun near Shmedford.

Your camping trip looks sooo fun, that river water is gorgeous! Makes me remember the few times we camped at Detroit lake.

Gorgeous! Looks like the kids are making friends and having fun. I can't believe you got them to do the washer woman routine! So cute!
