First Camping Trip as a Family!

So on Labor Day weekend, we went trekking with our friends, Miranda, Eric & Sage Traeger. I finally agreed to sleep on the ground, so we went camping to a place where Eric spent lots of time in his early days...the 4 inch memory foam mattress from Costco made it so pleasant, I think we will go again...plus Mateo had so much fun playing with Sage on the hammock...higher 'Uncle' Eric, higher...

At the headwaters of the Metolius River, with Mount Jefferson in the background. Mateo loves his Baby Carrier (Oops, that's 'Big Boy' carrier.) Straps may prevent low back injury, but also make for less than pleasant picture taking...

Tired out at the end of a long day! How I miss the days when he would crawl into my arms first thing...it doesn't happen often, but when it does, it is amazing!


When it's time to pack up, Mateo lends a hand


Mateo, Sage, Matt, Miranda and Eric feeding fish at the hatchery. Mateo loved putting quarters in the fishfood dispenser as much as feeding the fish.

Thanks to our friends for showing us how much fun the great outdoors can be!!

Love, Sarah & the boys...

HEY!!!! I loved the O-fest pics!! It was great meeting your friends and seeing you on Friday Night!! I will be able to visit you guys this coming Saturday if you would like? This Sunday is crazy because we are going to be celebrating the dedication of a Filipino Shrine at the Grotto in Portland. Michael and I joined the Filipino Community this year *laughs* .

Have a great Week,

Cousin Mat.

P.S. When can I get that picture of Mateo and I? = )
