We went for our second annual Metolius camping trip in Central Oregon on Labor Day weekend. Our friends Eric, Miranda, Sage (about the same age as Mateo), and their new baby Willow Traeger were our camping mates...and the people who first shared the wonder of the Metolius with us. One of our favorite adventures while we are there is to go to the fish hatchery so that the boys can feed the trout with kibble from a vending machine. The fish are well trained and so the littlest kibble causes a bunch of them to come rushing to eat it...causing the boys to shriek with laughter...making the whole trip worthwhile...
Mateo and Sage scouting for fish to feed...I think Mateo has kibbles scrunched up in his hand...
Matt teaching Mateo that the patient way is to throw them out one kibble at a time...Mateo preferred the whole handful method.
Love to see my two favorite Millers walking together hand in hand...
The kibble dispenser...I think I used a whole roll of quarters...a quarter at a time.
Mateo loves small spaces, and he would stick his head through to drop the kibble for the fish...
We love the Metolius and we love camping with the Traegers!! Here's to many more adventures for the boys!
Love, Sarah & Matt & Mateo
But the thing about always wanting to take cute pictures of your kid is eventually, he wants none of it. He would only agree to let us take pictures if he could take some too...so the next series is a set of Mateo originals...destined to be the next great American photographer...
That really is black snot in his nose...for days he had black boogers!!

So Facebook has been the death of my blog postings...and everytime I think I am not going to make any more blog posts, someone I love says, "Sarah...you haven't blogged in forever!! We miss those pictures of your kid!" With that kind of peer pressure, how can I do anything but succumb to the requests of our friends and family...if you want to see how summer progressed, make sure you read from the bottom to the top...they are in order from newest to oldest.
