Ruffing it

This is another picture of CampPupp 2008. This is Jenn and Tank sleeping in the RV late into the morning. I know from experience that Jenn can yawn as big as Tank is right now, I just didn't catch it on the camera. The little RV has a queen sized bed in the cab. It's very comfortable. I love the little RV for several reasons. I love that no matter how owie I get from hiking, swimming, fishing, etc. - that I can sleep in a comfortable bed. Also, I don't have to hike up the hill if I have to pee in the middle of the night. It's also very nice when it rains heavily for a long time. It's great for camping in the winter in the Pacific North West. I'll post a pic of it later on.

Roughing It

This is Jenn and Jett roughing it during family camp 08. This is them sleeping in the rv late into the morning.

The nephews are coming

So, the nephews are coming. They arrive tomorrow afternoon. I've very excited about this. These particular nephews belong to my pseudo sister aka sister in law. I have two other nephews and a niece from my cousin, but I don't get to see them much as they live in another state. I also have pseudo niece and nephew who belong to my bestest pal. I have tons of plans for stuff to do when the boys are here. I'll prolly run them ragged. I'm ok with that. It's kinda my excuse to really embrace my inner child and enjoy the summer. We're going camping for a week - camping, swimming, hiking, arts and crafts, fire building, disc golf, fishing, soccer, etc etc. We're also going to a family reunion with my Great Aunt in Canby. While there, we're gonna play on the Canby Ferry. We're going to the Plankhouse in Ridgefield and while there, visit the wildlife perserve. We're making soap box derby/downhill racers. We're making old fashioned scooters. We have several mountain bikes to get running. I want to do the downtown Portland walking tour of the water features. We'll go to the zoo and to Omsi. We're also going to Shakespeare in the park. Basically, it will be Camp Pupp. I expect that at the end of the three weeks, I'll have to go to work to get some rest. Here's a picture of my nephew Butch on my Honda Shadow.
