Kickoff to the Camping Season

We have a goal this year to camp more. And to get better at it. We spent Friday night at Laverne County Park near Coquille. Despite the rain, it was really fun. We were the only campers besides a trailer in the whole park. It was peaceful and very wet. Friday night we had some hobo dinners and banana cream pie woof'ems (explanation below) and Saturday we explored the little falls and river after having eggs and sausage under the rain.

Tenemos una meta este a~no a campar mas. Y ser mejor campistas. Este Viernes pasamos a Laverne County Park cerca de Coquille. Aunque estuvo lluviendo, fue muy divertido. fuimos los unicos campistas en el parque. Fue muy tranquillo y muy mojado. Tuvimos comida de aluminio y pay de crema y banana en la noche del Veirnes y el Sabado, exploramos las "cascaditas" y el rio despues de desayunar de huevos a la mexicana bajo la lluvia.
Very green camp
Indi, chopping wood.

I had this expectation of taking amazing photos around the campfire. Unfortunately, that doesn't always happen. The good news is that I will have more practice this summer.

We always start laughing when the timer goes off...but better than stiff poses right?

What I woke up to Saturday morning.

There were giant stumps all over.

Shelter while we eat breakfast
We made the woof'ems out of sticks we found in the park. We sanded them and drilled a hole. Basically, you cook a biscuit around them and fill with anything you want.

Skipping stones
And it stormed crazy on Sunday, but I wanted a picture next to this tree I saw while running at Mingus Park. The rest of the blossoms will open soon so I'm excited for that!
