Beck relaxing at the campground
Our tent trailer makes it almost like not camping at all... There's a king size bed on one end and a queen on the other! We sleep well!
Our first night we found a great campsite called Eagle Rock. We had beautiful views of the Umpqua River!
As usual - Carl fixed us amazing dinner! Salmon on the campfire!
The boys caught a huge salmon fly! (And they had their scooters - hence the bike helmet)
We also took an after dinner hike up to the Hot Springs and to Watson Falls.
On Saturday we headed into Crater Lake National Park.
Thomas and Beck both took the time to do the Junior Ranger program and earn their badges and patches! They had to complete 8 activities in the book and draw a postcard of what they would remember most about Crater Lake.
There was snow but it was really warm. Gorgeous weather really. If there weren't about a billion mosquitoes it would have been perfect!
As you can see - Beck's broken arm isn't slowing him down.
Toketee Falls
Dinner at our awesome campsite!
Thomas read a lot of Harry Potter while we were camping....
Checking out the fish jump at Steamboat Creek. The steelhead jumping up the falls was an awesome sight to see!
Saving the little steelhead fry - a bunch were trapped in a pool so we let them out!
Giant leaves at Steamboat Inn - where we stopped for lunch.
Another gorgeous pool right behind Steamboat Inn.
Thomas found this awesome rock to jump off - had a great time!
Beck also had a great time in the river - not sure what in the heck he's singing about....but it's funny anyhow. He was excited to take off his splint for a little while, but certainly takes care not to use the arm when he's out of it!
Our final stop on Monday was Diamond Lake. We rented a boat and checked out the amazing damsel flies - we tried a little fishing too. The boys loved it - Beck had a HUGE grin the entire time!
The final day of our trip was Monday, July 25th - Beck's 5th birthday. He had a super day!
