Camping at Frog Lake

We went on my very first camping trip in August. It was so much fun! We tried to go to Lost Lake but it was already full, so we found the very last spot at Frog Lake. I loved the tent and had lots of fun playing with my toys in there. I got a really cool new Princess bed, but it was scary to sleep in by myself so I got to sleep with Mommy and Daddy in their bed.

We also went for a hike around the lake, threw lots of rocks in the water, floated around in the boat, and ate yummy smores by the campfire. We never made it fishing but me with fish hooks was probably a bad idea anyway.

Enchanted Forest

We went to the Enchanted Forest for the first time this summer. It was really cool with little houses, towns, slides, and fun rides. I got a little scared in some of the dark houses, but I tried to be brave. I even went on the bumper boats all by myself (for a few minutes until I couldn't find mommy in the crowd and asked to get out) and on the big roller coaster with Daddy. My favorite things were the big slide and the train.

Family Reunion

Earlier this summer we went to the Barker family reunion (Grandpa Richardson's side) at Ft. Stevens in Astoria. We had a lot of fun playing on the beach and checking out the ship wreck. Then we went back to the picnic area and I played with all my cousins while Grandpa Richardson ran the auction for the adults.

We were almost ready to leave and I decided to drink a cup of sand. NOT a good idea! It was really yucky and I just looked at Mommy with a horrified expression on my face. But then everyone started laughing so I turned into a goofball running around in circles and laughing with sand oozing down my face. Daddy finally helped me wash it all out (or drink it actually, I didn't understand the concept of spitting) and then we drove home.

Happy Birthday to Me

I turned 2 on July 6th and I am such a big girl now. I'm able to say so many words and starting to put small sentences together. We had a birthday party at my house with friends and family and I got so many nice presents. Here's the pictures from the party (sorry for the weird colors, our camera got stuck in some wacky setting)...

Our First Garden

We put in our first garden this year and it has been so much fun. I helped plant everything and love picking the vegetables when they get ripe (and sometimes when they're not so ripe). Here's a video of me planting the potatoes and some pictures from planting and harvest.
