Camping Makes Me Smile :)






Okay, I have to say that camping has to be one of my favorite things EVER. No phones, no housework, no worrying about keeping the kids entertained (the dirt and the bugs take care of that), and best of all, food just tastes better when you're camping. The day after we moved to Portland, we literally dumped our stuff in our new place and left to go camping in the Columbia River Gorge. BEAUTIFUL and only 30 minutes from our house! It was a blast and made it very easy to fall in love with our new place.

I used to love camping as well, but we spent a couple nights in a tent with Joey last weekend in Cokeville and I have no desire to go camping again until she's at least 5 years old.....too much work.

Once she's walking it will be easier! It is really a ton of work when they're still crawling cuz they just can't go anywhere.

Beautiful photos. I had 2 roommates from Portland who constantly spoke of the beauty of their hometown "Troutdale." Have you been to the temple there yet? I've heard it's amazing.

Wish we could get all our girls together for a playdate! Maybe we'll have to stop by if we're ever on the same coast.

WOW! So beautiful! Makes me want to change up our travel plans this fall to fit in some inland camping on our way to the coast. Wanna go to the coast with us? We stay in yurts. Tons of fun!
