Blender Camping Trips

The Blenders are fortunate to be able go at least one camping trip every year. The Eldest of Elders go on a 4 day back packing trip on the Rogue River Trail. Please share some experiences from past trips... things that have made you laugh and smile.

I have so many fond memories from so many special trips. I especially love the times we gather for the "talent" shows and the children share so many of their talents. Last year I remember Sabrina coming up to the piano and saying, I have a song I have been working on." She then began to belt out "Ain't Misbehavin'" There were so many lovely moments last year. I am so looking forward to another great experience getting to know you all.

Here is the link to last year's photos...


Peace and Light and can not wait to hear your stories from years past, as well as next week, to hear stories and adventures from this year's trip.
