After completing the usual weekend grind of grocery shopping, trips to the dump and attempting to rid every surface in our house of Barley hair, Camdyn and I headed up the Lostine River Canyon for an afternoon of fishing, sunbathing and huckleberry picking! Despite the fact that it turned out to be too overcast to sunbathe, not a single fish decided to bite, and all hopes of huckleberry cobbler were dashed by a dismal find of about 25 berries......we had a ball just being outdoors and with the family....but little did we know what fun Sunday would have in store!
After a mostly cloudy Saturday, we awoke to sunshine and heat on Sunday and decided that there may never be a better day for Camdyn's first boat trip out on Wallowa Lake! Despite an exhaustive search of every outdoor store and marina in the county (who am I kidding....THE outdoor store and THE marina), I was unable to find a life jacket that would actually fit Camdyn, but opted to go with the under 30 pound model that seemed to be readily available!
I am happy to report that our little water baby did great! She lasted a little over an hour before she decided that her massive life jacket was a bit too oppressive, that Mommy was holding onto her a bit too hard, and perhaps everyone on board was a bit too paranoid that Camdyn was going to end up over board! Maybe just a few more months before we are all ready to go boating again!
