Long weekend Camping Trip to Waldo lake Oregon with our good friends - The Bercots.
Waldo Lake is considered one of the clearest lakes in the US. It was a 1.5 hour drive from Bend.
Siding almost complete. Garage Doors on!
The kids started summer swamp (vbs) today. They had fun and are looking forward to tomorrow.
Noah wanted to go camping for his 9th birthday. He invited his buddy Blake to come along with us. We went up to East Lake and had a beautiful campsite over looking the lake. The first day was great and we canoed and kayaked and did some exploring. Over night it rained and the next morning we woke up to even more rain and snow. Tent camping when it is wet is never fun. We packed up a day early and headed for home. All in all the kids had fun and it was a great birthday for Noah.
Beginning at age six Kevin presents a gift to the kids as they journey to adulthood. Abbie got her first bible with her name engraved, Hunter got a hatchet with his initials engraved and Noah received a compass. The kids look forward to getting this each year.
Such a fun Bend tradition watching the Bend Pet Parade. Happy 4th of July from the Donaldson Crew!
After paddling at Hosmer lake we headed over to Sparks Lake for dinner and got some nice early evening shots over the lake.
Family paddling on Hosmer lake in the cascades this afternoon.
Hunter, Noah and Abbie are doing Juniper Swim league this summer. It's fun to have the 3 of them doing it together. This morning they swam terrific! It is always so much fun watching them and cheering them on. Abbie was a bit nervous but she did great for her first swim meet.
Starting to look like a house on the inside now! Pictures in order: Front, back, south side, great room, kitchen area, master bedroom, bonus room, stair landing area.
