More Vacation Fun

We got home from the beach Thursday around noon, which was just enough time to do a few loads of laundry and then head back out for our next adventure. We were headed to Clackamas Lake at the foot of Mt. Hood, but we had to leave super early Friday morning because we didn't have reservations.

We got a (not so great) site without any problems and the kids immediately set to work trying to get as dirty as possible.

That first day the kids rode bikes around the camp and we drove over to Timothy Lake as well, about two miles away.

Megan did some pretty serious swimming, but Liam was more content to hang out and watch. I don't blame him - that water is COLD!

Saturday was my big day and I finished my first 50 mile race!

I basically didn't move the rest of the day!

Sunday we took one last stroll down the campground boardwalk to Clackamas Lake (more like a bloated river than a lake, but still quite scenic).

Then one more dip in Timothy Lake (well, for Megan at least) before heading home. Two nights at the beach, two nights camping, plus an endurance accomplishment and my vacation wasn't even half over! This week's agenda is pretty dull compared to that, though. We are just trying to beat the heat - hard to do when the day gets to 105! We hit the splashpark Monday and A.C. Gilbert house Tuesday (does the A.C. stand for air conditioning?? Man in was nice in there) and today the kids were in the kiddie pool at our house by 9 am. I wanted to get some yard work done this week, but who can stand to be outside??
