Camping at Bastendorff

When I found out for sure that neither of my two remaining students would be arriving this weekend, we decided to pack up and go camping. Bastendorff Park has a nice campground near the beach, and all sites are on a first-come-first-serve basis. The kids and I headed out there Friday morning to get a site and set up camp, and Brad joined us when he got off work. We had a great weekend! Here are some of the highlights:



Roasting marshmallows and making smores is a vital part of any American camping trip!



Elisa made friends with the boys at the campsite next door and had fun playing cards with them.



Brad and I had our picture taken on this stump when we'd first gotten engaged. We enjoy returning periodically with our growing family.

Saturday night Julianne, Marie, and I drove into North Bend to join some of the other exchange students for a night of bowling.
