A perfect ending to a great summer!

by Pam on August 18, 2014

We spent the last five days in the Cove Palisades State Park camping and playing on Lake Billy Chinook. We haven’t explored much of Central Oregon and we had an absolute blast finally spending time there. We played on the lake, rented a pontoon for the entire day, fished, rode our friend’s waverunner, enjoyed the beautiful sights and fantastic weather, swam, spent time with wonderful friends – old & new, ate great food, rode four wheelers, and spent quality time together. The only word I can think to describe this camping trip is EPIC.

I’ll be back to cooking tomorrow.

What a beautiful day to be on the lake

Back from our Adventures in Idaho

by Pam on January 7, 2013

Boise, Idaho:

We just got back from a fun filled trip to Idaho. We spent time with some of our family in Boise and celebrated Christmas together with them. We had a mellow week of watching movies, eating excellent meals cooked on my brother in law’s new Traeger grill, and spending time laughing and hanging out together. It was nice to enjoy the holiday with my parents and my sister and her family.

Cheers!

 

I love that my sister shares!

Quality time with my guy

I love these rascals!

McCall, Idaho:

We left Boise and headed to my husband’s hometown where we met up with our good friends from Portland. We were so thankful to be staying at my mother in law’s amazing home. The kids enjoyed playing out in the snow, sledding, and skiing. The weather was beautiful, sunny, and cold. We had a fun filled and relaxing time together – it was so nice to show our friends how beautiful Idaho is!

It’s hard to leave such a beautiful place!

It was a whirlwind trip and we had such a wonderful time but it’s also really nice to be home!  I hope you all had a great holiday season! I’ll be back to cooking tomorrow.
