CAMPING!

Yes, it's true, Mark and I went camping! And it was even his idea! I must say it was kind of weird to actually go camping without taking tons of gowns, jewelry and bellydance gear. LOL Oh, and no makeup!

Home sweet home! Yes, you see 2 airbeds in there, one for Mark and I and one for Bella.

Bella, "roughing it." LOL

The meadow below Mt. Hood. It was really gorgeous!

A bit of whimsy at one of our fellow campers' spaces. I couldn't resist snapping a shot of their lawn flamingos!

I have no idea what these are but these weirdly perfect little white flowers were everywhere.

And I just thought these were pretty!

This totally cool empty cabin would be my idea of heaven. I gotta get me one of these!

A boy and his dog.

This was SUCH a cool find! Right across from the big meadow is this tiny graveyard from the 1880's!

This is the only tombstone in it that's still even a little legible. Apparently an infant is buried here.

A very tired Bella on our last morning. We stayed two nights and she was at constant war with the chipmunk that lived at our campsite so when we weren't out hiking she was on constant alert for the terrorist chipmunk that dared to keep raiding our camp! LOL Poor Bella, her life is sooooo hard!
