The beach where the kids swam and I kayaked.

On Friday night Grace and I went to Jeopardy, a Ranger program.
What fun we had. We had two teams. We met a couple from Virginia.
The categories were Tweet Tweet, Crazy Critters, The Reservoir,
Prineville, and Park Plants. Our team was ahead at Final Jeopardy but we lost on the
last question. It was: 150 years what tribe was the last to go peacefully to the reservation? 1. Blackfoot 2. Paiute 3. Nez Perce
The answer was number two. We said number 3. Oh well.
Saturday, at 5pm Grace went to the scavenger hunt with the Rangers.
She got to be partners with a boy her age, Blaine. What a nice boy.
They had to find: a feather, something soft, something from nature, favorite thing
from the desert, garbage, surprise by the entry booth, and much more.
Self Portraits
Saturday night the two girls and I went to the Ranger program called "Tye Dye Plants"
The ranger brought things from nature to dye with. Sagebrush was green, Rabbitbrush
was yellow, and Ochoco Mtn Blueberries were purple. They provided the tshirts for us.
The shirts turned out awesome and the sagebrush one smelled so good.
Crazy Girl
This was our first trip with the trailer where we had power, water, sewer, and flush
toliets, and free showers. They also sold wood and ice. How nice. It is such a nice park.
Our campsite "C11"
On Friday I had Dave take me to town, I had forgot to pack any yogurt. On the way
there we hit two garage sales. We found 3 almost brand new sleeping bags for $20.
Looking towards the lake from our site, deer went thru here every evening.
Fixing the lights
This morning Grace got up and said this "Mom that was the best camping trip
we have been on in a long time." That made me feel really good.
