Camping at Fort Stevens!

We have had such a great time camping this summer! Doug and Joy invited us for one more trip the weekend after Labor Day and we jumped at it. Joy did all the footwork to reserve a campsite at Fort Stevens. Fort Stevens in the largest campground in Oregon and has over 400 campsites. There is a lot to do and we will definitely want to go back. Here is Libby helping Bill build a fire on our first morning.





Our new tent trailer has been great. We really like it and can't wait to use it again next year.

Michael, Abby, and Libby.


Our campsite was right near the trail head to Lake Coffenbury. The weather was beautiful and the kids had a great time playing in the water.





Libby loved this water fountain. She finally figured out how to use it by herself and was very proud of herself.


The beach is very close to the campground. Doug, Joy, Michael, and Abby rode their bikes over. Bill, Libby, and I loaded up Doug and Joy's dogs and drove over. Within a couple of minutes, Libby was asleep. It had been a busy morning.

The dogs love the beach!

Joy packed a picnic lunch for all of us and we flew kites.

On Sunday, while Bill and Joy worked on loading up, Doug and I took the kids on a bike ride to the playground.




Peek-a-boo!






Upside down Libby!



On our way home. Again, Libby was worn out...although, this time, I'm not sure that Mommy and Daddy weren't more worn out. We had a great time and I was not ready to come home. The weather on the coast was beautiful and about 75...at home it was closer to 95. Eww.
