Riverbend 2012

We got the whole Dodge family together for a camp out at Riverbend this weekend. There was lots of bike riding,

smores and play time at the park.

Look No Training Wheels

Mason saw some other little kids riding around the campground without training wheels and decided that he could do it too! He asked daddy to take the training wheels off and just took off. He hasn't slowed down since. He can even ride through gravel and grass!

Clear Lake 2012

We were so excited to make it back up to Clear Lake. It's our favorite place to go and we were unable to go last year because of the forest fire. We went with the Hubbard's, Hamilton's and my parents. The guys spent lots of time fishing and us girls spent a lot of time hiking. All of the kids were able to catch a fish which was exciting. Jen and I did a 8 1/2 mile hike around Clear Lake and further the first day. The second day we tried a new 4 1/2 mile hike our of Trail bridge that went up to the "Blue Pool". It was a gorgeous hike along the Mckenzie River. We had great weather and even got to see a "wagon train" which camped next to us. There was a 4-H group with 84 horses and people including three covered wagons. The boys thought we had a parade come right through our campground.

4th of July 2012

We started out the day with Nana and I taking the boys down to Harrisburg for the parade. Torrie always saves us spots and the boys get obscene amounts of candy. That night the entire Dodge clan plus my parents and some family friends from Reno got together at our house for a BBQ and fireworks. The kids had a blast with the sparklers and smoke bombs. Calli and Tim even tried their hand at kite flying. It was perfect weather and a great way to kick off summer.
