Camping: Trillium Lake 9.20.13

9.20.13 - 9.22.13 

We went camping at Trillium Lake this past weekend. Cory and I haven't been camping ever together and I haven't been camping since I went here last in 2005. We were pretty excited to say the least. We had planned this trip since the beginning of summer and as the weekends got closer the more excited we got to just get away. The forecast called for rain the entire weekend, so we came prepared. However, partly sunshiny skies were what we got. Totally unexpected and totally wonderful .




These are our friends Joe and Pam . We met them last October in a young married's group at church. When we first met, we just kind of clicked. They are absolutely wonderful people. Being around them you can't help but laugh. They are funny and inspiring and just good for your soul. Simply put - they are awesome. 




The first night we set up our tents and camp and had just enough time before a little rain hit it. We spent the evening playing lots and lots of games. 



Good morning nature.
 Trillium Lake is a smaller lake in Oregon, surrounded by trees, and right below Mt. Hood. Waking up to the fog and reflection on the lake was quite magical. We spent a good part of the morning hiking around the lake. 













The boys of course couldn't resist a plunge in the lake. 


Pam and Joe were married 2 1/2 months before us.
 We are all still young and in love. 







This camping trip was beyond amazing. The fellowship we had lightened our hearts. The weather we got was beyond what we expected. I love living in the Pacific Northwest. Camping is something that I know Cory and I will continue to do in our marriage together. It's fun, easy, and just relaxing.
