Camping at Devil's Lake

A last Hoorah before Winter comes

We decided to go camping one more time, before the rainy season starts. It was so fun, we went with my family. We were so lucky to get the campsite right next to the bathrooms, so we got to hear the soothing sounds of flip flops, toilets flushing and air dryers. Oh and lets not forget the screaming couple. I turned to my husband and I told him that if he ever yelled at me like that couple were doing I would up and walk away. It was bad. So we fell asleep finally and somewhere around 1 the couples argument escalated to a screaming match, waking sleeping babies and children. After they finally calmed down and we headed back to lala land, we were jolted to wake by the sound of something breaking into our ice chests. Upon opening the tent we see 4 racoons, helping themselves to food. Yes we had the pleasure of having a mother and her 3 babies hanging out in our camp site. So all night long we were chasing them off. Brats!

So sufficeth to say, not much sleep was had that night. But we did enjoy a delicious foil dinner and of course roasted marshmallows.

Morning time brought a bit of a drizzle, nothing a hot fire and cocoa can't cure. Pacer took Christian to go fishing and I brought Olivia a little later. Sadly no fish were caught but Christian had fun.

Breakfast was pancakes cooked in bacon grease, and apple juice. Which did wonders for the sore throat I woke up with.

The weather was decent and we decided to walk down to the beach and hang out for awhile.

After a bit we decided it was time to eat lunch and headed back to camp for lunch. The kids had been so excited to eat their lunchables and unfortunately they were stolen by the pesty racoons from the prior evening. So it was sandwiches all the way around. We packed up camp, and headed North to Neskowin (our favorite beach). It was a beautiful day, the dogs ran wild, the kids played in the waves and pacer climbed proposal rock. I sat on the beach and rested my sad broken body. (Sciatica acting up)

Overall it was an entertaining last summer hoorah. Can't wait to go camping again.

A nice day for a birthday

Early morning Happy birthday kiss from husby before he ran off to work, then a day at the beach with family. It has been really fun getting to know my cute little niece Annie and playing with the others. It's so fun watching them grow up.

Neskowin is our favorite beach to hang out at. So we enjoyed a day there until I took an unexpected bath in the ocean, while rescuing my camera, I didn't realize that I had my cell phone in my pocket. O'well got a new phone for my birthday. hehee.

I had to get a new pair of shorts at Goodwill and then we had a yummy lunch at the 60's diner in Lincoln City. It was a really nice day.

Medical Alert

What a wild summer

I had a really fun summer. We did so many wonderful and amazing things. Including a sprained ankle, and no it was not a shoe related injury and then the next day cutting my finger with a serrated bread knife which required 4 stitches. I had been having severe pain in my eye and suffering from very horrific migraines. I saw a migraine specialist who put me on some new meds and at the same time I had an eye exam and turns out my prescription was off. So needless to say after months of the tests and pain meds, I am feeling so much better.

Foot has healed, finger is almost better.

Camping in Detroit

Rain Rain Go Away

We made a quick last minute decision to go camping, well actually my parents put the idea in our heads. They had planned to go camping at Silver falls and then decided not to. But we were excited and ready to go camping. So we called Detroit Lake to see if there were any spots left, and luckily they did. We packed the car and headed out as the rain followed us all the way there. We set up camp and shortly after we were set up did the rain really pick up. We enjoyed our delicious chicken foil dinners, why is it that no matter what you eat while camping always tastes so good. We couldn't even hang out next to the fire, there was so much rain. So we just crawled into bed to read and listen to the rain.

By the morning we were wet, it rained all night. We ate our scrumptious breakfast and then went off in search of a laundry mat to clean and dry our blankets. The second day wasn't nearly as bad. The rain had stopped and we were able to enjoy ourselves more.
Overall it was a really fun weekend.
