Our Annual "Camping" Trip

Every Memorial day, we do a family camping trip.  For years it was a weekend of wet tent camping (it seemed to always rain) and then last year we had the bright idea to rent a cabin since Violet didn't quite seem ready to brave the Oregon spring yet.  This year we headed out to Sunriver with Randy's brother and my sister.  We had a great time, only one day of very slight rain, and over all warm and sunny.  No complaints here.  Violet had a blast, hanging out with her cousin, playing with volcanic rock, feeding the ducks, and dancing to the Grateful Dead (not my idea)

Violet's very first push up - which from the look on her face, she loved
Trout that daddy caught, Violet was very curious and had to check up on them periodically to ensure they were still there

Too cute. But what the heck is a "lunker"?

Violet's Mama said...

Lunker = Big fish (I only know this because Kevin & Randy talked about it the WHOLE time)
