"Camping"

Porter and Seth went camping this weekend...

...in our living room!

Porter has popsickle chin. Nice.

Porter hasn't stopped talking about the "tent" since we took it down.

This may be a new conference tradition!

Jensen Family Reunion 2009

Seth and I went to the Jensen Family Reunion in St. Anthony, Idaho. We stayed at a place called Great Peaks Lodge. It was a really great place to stay because it had a bunch of things for the kids to do inside, and since it was rainy most of the time we were there, this was perfect!

This room is where most of the kids spent their time...big and little kids.

Porter loved this bike...

In fact, if we couldn't find him, this was usually where he ran off to!

My kid is so cute...

the goose egg on his little face is from falling down a concrete stair at the awesome house in Boise, poor kid.

Porter and his second cousin, Lance, played very well together as well. It was always so cute to watch.

Too cute.

We also went shooting...I was the only girl :) It was kinda nice being the only girl with a bunch of Jensen gentlemen. I had a lot of "gentlemanly" help while going through the bushes and shooting the gun. I felt very special.

Seth's a pro and hit practically every one of his. This was my second time going and I hit 6 out of 10...not too bad :)

Seth let the little ones shoot his 22 so they could shoot guns too.

After we were all done, the guys when out and gathered the clay pidgeons we missed...

As you can see, there were a lot.

We actually filled a whole other box worth!

We had a great time with the family! We miss you guys already...especially Porter does...

Camping Trip

Seth, Porter, and I went on our first camping trip ever (and Porter's first ever) this last week with a bunch of other Optometry couples.

**We actually went the day after I got back from Idaho, I know, crazy.**

We stayed at a place called Nehalem Bay in a building called a YURT



A "Year-round Universal Recreational Tent"
It had electricity, a bunk bed, a futon, a lamp, a mirror, a table with four chairs, and a heater. Pretty nice!
Seth called it a glorified tent

There was running water, indoor plumbing, and showers nearby.
**those of you who know me well know I wouldn't have gone otherwise haha**

The campground was really nice.



Porter was always wanting to go off on his own.

We took a walk to the beach before we headed home

It was gorgeous in the morning haze.

Porter had a hard time walking on the sand.

Correction...we all did.

Porter loved running really close to the water.



It was a super fun summer activity!

I'm so glad we got to go! Even if it was only for one night :)
