It has taken me this long to finish these pictures from our vacation to Oregon last summer! I know it's rediculous! These pictures are from the first part of our vacation. We had a reunion in Southwest Oregon. It was an amazing time, gathered with all these dear ones that are scattered about!! We were at Camp Remote for 4 days or so.
On our way there, we stopped at the Salt Flats out of Salt Lake City. It was sooo bright and white there!
After stopping, we continued driving and made it to a little town in Oregon called Lakeview. We stopped and stayed the night in a rustic old motel.
Dinner at an old cafe off the main street.
The boys were able to burn off some energy at the motel. They had a basketball hoop and we had a ball along.
The surroundings there were beautiful! I love Oregon!
After sleeping the night, we took off in the morning and headed toward Camp Remote.
We had one pitstop along the road at this lake.
We arrived at Camp Remote, and spent the next 4 days there.
On our first morning we played a couple games.
Grandma was lining everyone up alphabetically by middle names.
We played many games of bump.
There was no water close by, so our lovely hosts set up a slip and slide. That provided entertainment for hours!
Visiting in the shade.
It was so fun watching all the cousins reconnect, or meeting for the first time!
Some organized arts and crafts for the kids.
