Campin' Mt. Rainier Aug. 21-23 2009

To celebrate our 10 year anniversary we
decided to go on a camping adventure. We arrived late
at night and Ohanapacoch was full so we found an off road
fire pit for our first night. There was hispanic music playing loudly
next door, but we thought that for sure by 1 or 2 am they
would turn it off.



Just as we 'deflated' our tent about 9 am it was
suddenly quiet. Our guess is that the battery for the car that
blasted mariachi music all night must have finally died!

So, then we drove over to the camp
ground and found a place to spend our next night...
we still had smiles and ready for our day, hopefully!

After setting up camp again, we drove
up to Sunrise.








That evening was wonderful with the fire, Hudson went to sleep
in the tent and we stayed up visiting for a bit. But, then we were
woken up about 2 am from Hudson screaming at the top of his lungs!
There was nothing we could do at first and then we heard the neighbors,
"Hello, the camp" I was horrified to think that we had become
"The Camp"!
They just wanted to make sure he was O.K., and eventually we
did get him back to sleep, and Brian was fast asleep.... I think I might
have eventually, but it was a rough night!


The next morning we told the neighbors how sorry we were...


...how could you not forgive this face?

Hudson had a play date with Zoey while the mom's visited

Our 10th anniversary!


Bob and Connie helped us celebrate
by taking us to dinner at McGlinns.


Then we played 'flop on daddy' at the park

Family Camp 2009 @ Tinkham

Every year we plan camping for the third weekend of July
for my mom and dad and their kids/grandkids.
It's always great to get together and catch up, even if we just
saw each other it's always a good reason to go camping!


Maria, Hudson and Amelia


This was early the next morning, not much sleep!



Mom woke up and said good morning to Hudson as he came by with his prize sticks.


Uncle Randee!


We went for a mini hike, but missing Grandpa, Traci, and Mary.
Randee even offered to carry Hudson in the backpack,
(I was still dragging from virtually no sleep.)



Hudson, Zeke, Traci and Rachel... hangin' out


Hudson's fist smore!!


Grandpa and Hudson


Cousins on the other side of the river,
making sure there were enough rocks in the water!

Blueberry Hills! July 15th 2009

Brian's Mom and Bob invited us to go to Blueberry Hills with them and their neighbors, Ram and Celia. Brian had a 'surprise' day off, so he was able to join us! It's one of my favorite places to go, besides fulfilling my love of blueberries, it's... well... it's just blueberry heaven!



Hudson had a great time 'helping' us pick



After we filled our buckets we went up to the restaurant
for lunch and of course, blueberry milkshakes!


"You're drinking too much, MOM, save some for me!"
(Brian was saying the same thing!)


Ram and Celia


Bob and Connie


Hudson loves having drinks with a straw...
