Labor Day Weekend @ Camp Cougar

One weekend of camping wasn't enough. We were able to squeeze in one more with some friends from OM's school. 

Camp Cougar is in Cougar, WA near the base of Mt. St. Helens. 

It poured buckets on us on Saturday. 

Lots and lots and lots of buckets. 

But the clouds parted, we aired out our wet sleeping bags and tents and got back in the water. 

Defintely recommended…

Oxbow Part 2...

Woo Hoo!!

Hooray, our new home appraised above our offer.

2nd & 4th!!!

These two beautiful babies headed off to their first day of school today.

Yesterday we did our pre-first-day rituals…

We baked chocolate chip cookies for their teachers, the principal and the two awesome school secretaries.

And we made our wishes for the new school year…

Owen needed a new backpack so I bought him this one (made out of fleece)

And then personalized it…

And off they go to kick some 2nd and 4th grade booty!!!

It has been a beautiful season on So You Think You Can Dance…here a couple good ones from last week.

So sad there is only one week left.

BUT…I'm not too sad because I bought tickets for Maya and I to see them LIVE (yay) next February when they come to Portland.
