Roughing It!

With the unseasonably warm weather and the added difficulty of leaving the house... it didn't take long for cabin fever to set in.  So once we were confident in our abilities we headed to Whistler's Bend to spend a night on the Umpqua River... in a yurt!  Yurts are positively the best way to camp without many of the hassles and discomforts of really camping!  So we packed up some bedding, some food, the camera, the dog, the kid and the baby and headed south!  Norah is a big fan of camping, be it in a yurt or in a tent!  She loved sleeping in the top bunk!  There is, conveniently, a rather amazing disc golf course at the park as well as a playground and gorgeous riverfront!  We topped it all off with a trip to the Wildlife Safari, where Norah got to commune with her wild cousins!  It was a great trip and we pulled if off with style and finesse... if I do say so myself!

One cool dude!

Norah slept in the 'tower' and loved it!

Our humble abode for the night!  (Eric met us out for a round of disc golf and helped us settle in!)

Who has bright eyes and loves camping?  This guy!

Rocking it out in the Ergo!

Norah and her self sized bag of Pirate's Booty!  A dream come true for this little girl!

Paradise!

Mac n Cheese... any camper's staple!

Vegetarian survival skills 101.

Bear suit!

Family of Four!  Love love love!

Look out world... it's Norah at the wheel?!

Ostrich's get road rage too!

Buff!





Close enough to spit!

Norah's sweet ride... see the flamingos under the tree?!

Norah charmed the birds from down under!

Driven.

My girl.

Love this course!

Can you find the monkey in the tree?

I think we'll keep this one!

Nothin but chain... as far as you know!

Hole in one?  

Ray of light.
