Cousin Campout


We had a nice time at the cousin campout. It was great seeing so many people. Riley's cousins, Cheyenne and Brayden, have grown up and changed so much, getting sweeter every day. They were both so gentle and cute with Riley. It was a seven hour drive for us so Riley was a bit tired. We forgot to bring her travel crib so she wouldn't sleep at all during the day. Oh, boy, you can probably imagine that one! Just the weekend before we had driven to Spokane to finish up some transcript work I had. Poor girl. She was a real trooper though!
On the camping trip we took a walk down to the beach, took Riley to the playground area and ate entirely way too much food! Riley enjoyed sitting in the pool and blowing bubbles. Isn't it funny how she puffs her cheaks out trying to get those bubbles out!
Unfortunately we received some bad news while camping; Jason's grandpa, while fishing in Alaska, had some heart problems. In the beginning we were told he had only a short time to live and nothing could be done to help him, but then found out from Daniel and Brent that, while it was very serious, he had some choices on what avenues he could take and it looked positive. So hopefully he can start feeling better and get back on his feet soon. We will sure be thinking about him and wishing him well. He is a very sweet, gentle man who definately leaves an impression!
This last pic is our tent hooked up to the jeep. It was pretty funny to see people stop their cars driving by to look at it. Probably wondering what in the world we had done! Crazy campers.
