We're Back from Dino Land




We have returned and things are now back to normal! It was a beautiful trip. The picture of all of us here is at the top of one of the hikes we did. Saw lots of beautiful scenery and cool dino bones. The first campsite we stayed at was so nice. It was totally like camping at a resort. CLEAN bathrooms with HOT showers! We camped next to the covered group kitchen. This 'primitive' camping kitchen was covered and included: 2 refrigerators; electric stove; wash sink w/ hot water; microwave; coffee pot; toaster.......you get the idea. Oh and we also had the whole place to ourselves! We stayed here for two nights then on Wednesday, we headed for Biggs, OR which is on the Columbia River (Oregon side). Jack caught two fish with his Spiderman fishing pole and Jeremy actually picked one up with his bare hands--yes, we are impressed! LOL We stayed at a state campground there and then headed home on Thursday. We were blessed to have Tristan and his friend, Dale come and stay at the house and care for the animals. I was so happy to be able to see them, though it was a short visit. Also, Saturday after we got home, Clay and Veronica came over to see Grandma and Grandpa too. Everyone ended up leaving on Monday, including Trevor who left with Clay and Veronica. All of a sudden we were down to only me, Jeremy and Jack. VERY quiet!! :)
So now we are in our routine of soccer game on Tuesday; Awana on Wednesday; soccer practice on Thursday and soccer game on Saturday. Luckily it won't be for long since soccer is done before Halloween.
Life is awesome!!!!!!
