Camping along the North Umpqua River

We spent a great weekend camping down along the North Umpqua River with our friends Liam, Brigetta, Rowan, and Fiona. We lucked out and got two great camping spots next to each other right along the river with a great place for the kids to play in the river. We mostly just hung out at the camp playing in the river and the kids digging in the dirt. We went on a short hike to a great waterfall and generally had a great time. The Moms slept with the little ones in their own tents and the Dads and the big ones slept in the BIG tent. So Calla and Rowan got to share the tent and had a great time after we put them to bed. Every 20 - 30 minutes we had to tell them it was bed/quite time, but as soon as we walked away one of them would start talking and the flashlight would come back on. It was pretty funny and they had a great time together.

Here are some photos of our adventure!
