Two weeks ago Matt had a week off. It was so nice to have some downtime together as a family. This was the first year we didn't do an August trip to California, and as much as I missed seeing family and lazy days in Carpinteria, it was good for us to have a little staycation. We enjoyed hiking, getting to go to a church in downtown Camas, going to the zoo, camping for a couple nights and the week ended with a visit from my sister, Aly (aka Auntie).

| S'mores, of course! |

| Always ready with a smile! |

This was right next to our campsite, so we spent a lot of time down by these rocks,
climbing around and dipping our feet in the water. |
 |
| Maggie learned how to climb into her stroller and a few moments after I took this picture she turned around and sat correctly for a minute, then rolled face first to the ground. I raced over to grab her, but she just looked up as if nothing had happened and started climbing again. What a girl! |
 |
The recreation area we stayed at was really beautful, lots of grass & open space to run around on and right next to the river.
(I have to point out that Clara is NOT wearing shoes, which is a big thing for her!) |
 |
| Maggie, not wearing shoes either, loved playing in the dirt, discovering "treasures" and just roaming around. |
 |
| Auntie's here! A little reading before we headed to church. |

| Love these two! |
