Camping Newberry Crater Oregon

Well last week we got to go camping with the kids and dog. We left on Tuesday afternoon and camped until Saturday morning. Then stayed Saturday evening in Bend before heading home. It was a lot of fun. We had no watches (not even cell phones) and no set things to do. Every night the kids slept great except for the first night E got up once and scared M and I. :-) After that they were asleep within a minute of their heads hitting the pillows and they actual slept until 7am (our guess). The dog even had fun but every night she had to be tossed into the lake so she was clean to go into the tent. :-) She even slept out of her kennel which the kids loved. She went back and forth between the kids sleeping bags/blankets. It was really warm up there...atleast to what we have done before. The first day we tried to take a nap and that just didn't work...it was cooler outside the tent then in the tent (our tent was a tadbit in the sun but not much). The kids got very dirty. Our campsite was mostly dirt and was huge! We had a duck that visited every night but we only fed him on the last night. Nimi wasn't too sure of that whole thing. Every day we tried fishing but didn't catch anything. Got a few nibbles but that was it. Some places you could see the fish in the water (water was very clear) and other times when fishing from in the water you couldn't. We all realized we liked it so M has decided that we need to get poles and license for us so we can all fish. N is very good at casting his own pole...E still needs work. N gets bored b/c he hasn't caught anything and seen what it is like. M and I had a relaxing time. I think two weekends from now we might go up to the Sawtooth to hike and fish...we shall see what my work schedule is like. M and N also played with the sling shot that has been sitting in our garage forever. Fun times.
