Hug Point

 On the last day of our camping trip we went to Hug Point. It was Jason's first time and everyone loved it. The weather was perfect. Right away the boys got to shoveling, including Davis.
He went crazy and played hard. And ate sand.

  Jason kept building dams and moving the water around. I'll admit it a  couple of times I freaked out because they were channeling the small stream toward our tent or other peoples. Crazy boys.

 Two grown men playing in the stand (another dad joined in building walls. Can you see the water is closer to our tent in the background? Not cool.

 Then the Tillamook Cheese Factory for some ice cream. What else would we do at the end of a beach trip. Max got plain old chocolate as always. He's a plain ol' sort of guy.

Camping Part 2

Some more camping pictures from the 'big camera'. I loved being able to play around with different settings and such. Being away from distractions gives me the oppourtunity to take more pictures than I normally do.

Max pouting. Who knows why. Probably because I was taking so many pictures. I solved this by asking if he wanted to take some 'action shots' which he was totally into. Levi and him leapt around on rocks, ran and did all sorts of tricks. It also let me work on taking faster moving pictures. I don't have much experience with that.

 Davis loves his daddy.

 Both boys balancing. Max though it was cool for 1.2 seconds then he decided he hated it.

 Then for a walk. I love our folding wagon, we used it so many times during the summer.

And whenever we are anywhere near water Jason can't help but hurl large objects.

 I love this picture of my boys. 

 This too.

 And oh that face.

 After we got back we found a bunny which let the boys get pretty close.

 Jason has been to this camping spot a couple times and so have the boys. As as in times past crawdads were caught and eaten. Not by me. I'm just the photographer. Max didn't really want to touch them but had no problem eating them. Levi was in all the way and loved picking them up. They made a little pool area out of rocks to keep some.

  And Davis, true to form could not keep his hands off everything and shoving whatever he could in his mouth. It was fun trying to keep him somewhat clean and dry.

 On the last day we went shooting. Max was pooped but eventually woke up after a few rounds.

 Jason found a place to set up the target and he shot some sort of bomb. I don't remember what it is but when you shoot it, it makes a huge sound. I had no idea he was doing it and I thought he hit a power line or something. Davis completely freaked out and took 10 minutes to calm down. Way to go dad.

 Then practice time. I did it too but I'm pretty sure the boys did better than I did.

We had a blast and will definitely be back next year.
