Camping at the Lake

This past week we went to the White Family camping trip that happens each year at Detroit Lake, OR. When I say family I mean about 100 people, so this is no small trip. I was so nervous about the sleeping arrangements, all 4 of us in a tent! Things actually turned out ok. Eli slept great for the first 3 nights, the last 2 I almost had a nervous breakdown from sleep deprivation, but we all survived. Each morning I went to town around 6am for a nice warm latte. Getting out of camp made sure we wouldn't wake everyone up and also gave us someplace warm to relax.

Owen and Eli could not get enough throwing rocks in the lake, playing with their big cousins, grandparents, and aunts and uncles, and going for wagon rides around camp. We all had a lot of fun, but it is really nice to be home!

Maui!

The boys and I kicked off summer with an 8 day vacation to Maui. We had an unbelievable time playing on the beach, in the water and visiting fun little towns! We traveled with my friend Lara and her 2 year old daughter, Amelia. The three kids got along great. Here are some shots that captured our adventure.
