Prineville Reservoir camping

Our friends Lashaunna and Sandor along with their 3 kids invited us camping at Prineville Reservoir in central Oregon last week. This is the 7th year they've gone in a row... And the first year they've had wind and rain storms every day we were there! Boy, were we grateful we had the camp trailer and were not tent camping. It was a quick learning curve for us on how to set the trailer and all the hook ups to go. I learned how fast my dishwashing habits contribute to a full gray water tank too. Despite the weather, we had an absolutely fabulous time! The kids could have camped for weeks more.  Steven and I not so much with the weather we had. We were awoken each night by down pours or wind gusts rocking the camper and the kids slept through it all! So each morning by 6:20 a.m., Zach would roll over in his bed, push our curtain aside and announce, "I awake! Chocolate milk."

 Our camp was about 40 yards from the lake. We were surprised how well the kids did staying out of the water. As soon as they had permission, they were in at least up to their knees each day. The kids immensely enjoyed throwing rocks into the lake. It was amusing to watch the hard core water sporters that were there tubing, wakeboarding and skiing in the rain. One day broke into the 70s, but it sure wasn't balmy water sports weather in my mind!

We lucked out and Shane & fam, Shaun & Michelle as well as Suzie and Larette were all able to drive over from Redmond to visit us while we were there also. There's just something great about fellowship around the campfire with a cold beer in hand!
