Jon's Birthday Weekend Extravaganza

Jon's Birthday Weekend Extravaganza started on Thursday when my mom made him a Guatemalan dish (stuffed chicken). There was cake and Jon scored some cool camping/picnic stuff and a Wii U game. 

On Friday we headed downtown to The Bite where we tried all kinds of good foods. Sliders, nachos, pizza, hush puppies, prawn poppers, ciders, liquors and a crepe. We also scored some nice free samples. 

Saturday the fun continued with a hike at Lewis and Clark State Park. We went a mile up and back on this really steep trail then we decided try and find the less steep trail. It was a really nice hike and Annabel had a blast. 

Then it was time for the main event, camping at Stub Stewart State Park. It was my first time there. It was a really nice camp site with a little of everything, hiking, disc golf, horse back riding, biking. 

After an exhausting weekend we are all ready for a nap!

Crater Lake Birthday Extravaganza!

This year for Jon's birthday we decided to do something different. Instead of throwing a party we decided it would be fun to go on a road trip. We wanted to go somewhere new that neither of us had ever been to. Crater Lake!

We had a great time enjoying the beautiful scenery, hikes, camping, food and cute critters. We can't wait to go back.

It was quite a hike down to the lake (and back up!) but the boat ride was worth it.

The volcano spires were AMAZING! (sorry the pic is sideways)

We had a very happy birthday boy!
