Camping with Papa

The boys and I had so much fun camping by ourselves and with my sister and fam, that we wanted to take Jacob along on a trip! We camped on Wind River, near Mt. St. Helens a couple of weekends ago. It was over 100 degrees in The Dalles, so it felt good to cool off a bit under the big trees.


We arrived late (with a brand new tire!), but still found a great campsite and the boys were happy...


...and tired!


After a good night's sleep, we played around near the river the next morning...



...enjoyed some beautiful sights...


...and found a little lake to try out our new raft.


The drive home took us by some ice caves. We didn't explore too much since we weren't very prepared in the way of lights and footwear, but it was pretty amazing to drop 60 degrees or so just by walking down a few steps. I'm sure we'll return...maybe when the boys are a bit older and able to control their own footing a bit better!:)
