July - Waterloo (Finley Family Reunion)

After Sequoia was born (July 1st) we didn't camp until the annual Finley family reunion in Waterloo, OR.  (Just past Lebanon.)  Sunny, warm weather, like usual.  It was very fun, and for Sequoia's first camping trip it went really great.  Half way through Jason and Liana, and Jason's sister Bethany and her husband and three kiddos came as well.  It was nice to see them and hang out a little.
   Usually we float the river together, and Mikaiah, Danielle and I did do a short float, but with both the kids there and Sequoia being so young, we laid a little lower than normal.  Good times though.
   Mikaiah really enjoyed playing with Judah and the two girls camping next to us (one of the Aunt's grandchildren.)  It is fun to see Mikaiah moving out on her own, finding a new independence she never had before.  It does mean I need to be even more vigilant however!
