Camping in the Living Room

Blueberry Picking

This morning we went blueberry picking.
 The blueberries were so sweet!
 The boys enjoy picking fruit.  It might be the yummy fruit or it might be that they get to run around the fields.
 Silly Sterling
 Yummy
 Great Buds
Picking with friends is so fun!
Pierce found a giant blueberry.
 We celebrated our little friends birthday, with gifts
and donuts.
What a wonderful morning!

Sisters Trip

On Father's Day weekend we headed to Sisters, Oregon to go camping with Grandpa, Grandma and some family friends.
 
By camping, I mean staying in this cute little cabin.
Sterling was excited to teach Marshall all about camping.  That is what big brothers do!
It was a two room cabin, with 2 sets of bunks.  The boys loved it!
 Each morning we went to Sisters Coffee.
 Beckett read the Sunday paper.
It was a chilly trip, but that did not stop us from having fun!
Pierce
Beckett-- Yes, he needs a new bike!
Sterling
Marshall
Mommy even got in on the bike riding.
The boys were so excited to race their RC cars around the campground. 
Daddy enjoyed some coffee and the fresh air.
We played lots of games, while we were there.
One morning we went into Bend to play at "Bouncing Off the Walls". Daddy even got in on the action.
Every evening we had a campfire.
We had to take a picture of this perfectly toasted marshmallow.
Smore Time
Finger Lickin' Good
Pierce and Marshall checked out the geese, early one morning.
Sterling and Sterling enjoyed some breakfast together.
One morning we went to Wizards Falls to see the fish hatchery.
Marshall was happy no matter where he was! 
We looked at all the fish
and then got to feed them.
The boys loved that part!
The Lundes and Merrills
Lunde Family
After the hatchery, we hiked along the river.
Pierce sure loves his grandpa.
The rain stayed away and we had a nice hike.
Grandpa, Grandma and all their boys
Sterling loved Mommy's Sisters Coffee hat and did not take it off during the whole trip.
What a sight!
Piercey got tired and needed a ride.
Back at the campground,
the big boys went fishing.
Patiently Waiting
No luck, but it was still fun.
Our Little Beaver
At the campground, the kids played miniature golf.
This kept them busy!
Beckett even got a hole in one!
 There was a playground
and swimming pool.
Pierce practiced his back float. 
Happy Sterling
 Tepee Fun
On Sunday we celebrated these two awesome dads
and then headed home.  This was Sterling less than 5 miles down the road.  

I think that is a sign of a good vacation.
