Spring Green



We were so lucky to join the Campbells for a visit to Aunt Carla and Uncle Tom's beautiful Oregon home and surrounding property.  Lucy, Spencer, and Lizzie loved spending their Spring Break in the Oregon forest. 
  
 


We all loved those days of deep, quiet green mixed with just the right amount of bounding, laughing adventure...










There were perfect lunchtime picnics in the meadow.














Freshly baked artisan bread on the deck for dinner. 


And lots of happiness around the campfire.  

























Particular highlights of the week included hiking to the "stage,"  a wooden platform on a beautiful shaded hillside, where the kids put on a series of spontaneous, delightful productions.






(in which volcanos were a common theme)


Riding the mower was another highlight.







 Also playing in the river.








And catching frogs by the Monet bridge.  








We're so grateful for such happy memories!

These pictures capture the Ogden's place perfectly. I love seeing your family there. We are headed there next week, but with 30 people. It won't be as peaceful as your trip. Thanks for posting these!
