Labor Day

We spent the past few days at Crescent Lake, 30 miles east of Oakridge. We stayed in the Spring Campground and it was ideal - just steps from the lake and great weather - well maybe a bit too windy, but otherwise awesome. Papa and Nana were along for the fun . . .
We celebrated Milah's 10th birthday with a designer cake - thanks to our good friend, Betty Crocker. Obviously our camper was not completely level as the brownies were a little thicker at one end.

Scott and Sten have big plans to sell this vessel, so they think this would be a good pic - anyone interested?

Early morning risers (well 9:00)- can't you just smell the bad breath?

Filthy foot crew - can you match the toes with the nose?

Our compound - kind-a strange how things deteriorate to redneck in a hurry. The first day, things were looking pretty spiffy, but by Day 4 - it looks like we've been there for a few months.

The girls -

The kids spent hours in this creek which was just barely above freezing. They created and recreated dams and marinas, campgrounds, and canals.
The water temperature was not to the girl's liking, so they did not participate in the wakeboarding events -

Partial Crew

Sten was excited to try skiing for the first time and was successful in getting up on the single ski.


But he still prefers wakeboarding . . .

Let the old pro show you how it's done, Sten

Finally - time to play!

We have been looking forward to spending some time at the lake and we made the best of it . . . Sten invited a friend and they perfected some moves, suffered some injuries, and were completely exhausted by today. Milah and Maren both made it up for a few seconds on the wakeboard, Maren slammed her vital thumb (yes, the one she still sucks) in the camper door, and we were joined by friends from town. One such friend was extra helpful when "docking" the boat for the evening. He threw the anchor over, just after realizing it wasn't attached to the boat. Oops! We enjoyed 4 days and now we are making our way through multiple loads of laundry.
