Family Camping Trip

We decided to take an extra trip camping this summer, as we have not had a lot of good weather to enjoy the boat. So we headed to Prineville with Jeremy, Sarah, Jordan and his friends Dave and Maddie.


We had good weather and practically had the campground to ourselves! Lots of fun on the boat. Jordan and Dave tubing.

Jeremy and Sarah, the wild tubing pair.

Deiana loves a wild ride too, with Jeremy.

Deiana is perfecting her wakeboarding skills!

Way to go little girl!

Once Jordan figured it out, he had no trouble.

Jeremy is good at jumps but I didn't

catch any good action shots.

It was nice to spend time with the young people, but I do prefer a resort with a restaurant and a pool!

Crescent Lake 2011

We went on our annual camping trip with our friends. This year we went to Crescent Lake. It is a beautiful lake in the mountains. It is a little bit chilly and there were swarms of mosquitoes, but that didn't stop us from having fun.

We had our boat this year, along with several others belonging to our friends. Deiana did some tubing, and tried her hand at water skiing. She did great considering the temperature of the water!

Rosie came along but fortunately we were able to leave the other dogs at home!!

As usual Deiana hung out with the older "kids" and they were so nice to her. Here is a little video of the water skiing experience.

Braces

Deiana is sporting some new braces this summer. They are the first step in her ongoing orthodontia treatment. They will get her teeth aligned and begin preparation for the bone graft (in the cleft area) which will be performed next summer. They will be on for about 18 months. She did great at the orthodontist's office and didn't complain at all. Her teeth have already moved quite a bit and are more visible.
One of the advantages of getting braces at a young age, they are COOL.
