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.

Mark

The funniest thing will always be the trip to Crater Lake. Avi and I put up our rickety summer tent and we proceeded to be dumped on by a blizzard of rain and snow. The water was seeping in and I remember staying up all night using winter coats to sop up the rain on the inside and praying that the tent wouldn't collapse under the snow. The next morning we scarfed down the french toast and hightailed out of there right after the Bandas. The other funny thing I remember is adopting Sasha and Aisha when they were 8 years old and watching them put up their tent all by themselves and I couldn't get mine up.

The funnest camping trip was last year. Because I loved to go swimming in the beach. After the hike we get to go into the beach. Last time there was a big boulder and we climbed it. I am happy we get to go.

last year i liked the talent shows and going down to the lake. it was fun when we ate waffles and got to help make them. the chocolate that the gnomes left for us on the trail was really good. exploring the grove was cool, i almost fell off a big log into a bush. we also went to a different lake and i fell in.

I loved the camping trip because of the hike when you get chocolate, the talent show, the beach, the morning breakfast, riding bikes, playing with friends, finding out who your neighbor is and climbing trees.

Hi Blenders, 11 years later (2017). It would be cool if Mark or someone still had pics from some of these camping trips, to reminisce in the nostalgia.
