The drive to Oregon was really nice. When went the Northern route though Bend, Oregon and it felt a lot shorter than the normal route through Portland. The first day we just hung around Rick and Anita's house and then on Thursday we headed to Crescent City, California to go camping at the Del Norte Redwood forest. We had a beautiful campsite with plenty of hiking trails.


Madison did wonderful camping. She was up until about 930 because the campsite had a ranger led campfire that included slide shows and topics about the Redwoods. The first night was the watershed system and the second night was on the life of the redwood tree. When it was time for bed she laid in our bed with one of us and after asking about 30 questions she would drift off and we would put her in her crib where she would sleep until about 5 am and then she'd crawl into our bed until 8/8:30.


The hard part about the trip is that Rick doesn't have blind in the house so Madison is up until about 9:30-10 pm and up at 6/6:30 am because it is so light outside. I am exhausted. Secondly, she only want me and she wants me to carry her EVERYWHERE!!!!! We are having a great time though. Madison has been spending a lot of time outside with Grandpa and Grandma and playing with the chickens.
