Trip coming up:  Going to Miami Florida the 5th of March 2024... Will try to keep a log and maybe let you know how it is going...

Camping at Hilgard Junction Park before, during and after Family Get Together....Above Arlo is trying to get his chair to fold out, darn thing is a puzzle that should just fold out so easy!  :)  Our trailer, in space 2.

Standing at the back looking North, you will see Greg's tent (blue) the the other tent is Cynthia's family tent that has been around since before Marco was born....now he is a married and a dad!

Space #1 finds our grandson Jacob's vehicle along with Daughter Cynthia's pickup.  You can see Jacob's tent too.  Actually it is daughter Sandra's little tent so she could have a place to put her stuff.

 Great Grandson Isaac and Great Granddaughter Lola, loved camping and the freedom it gave them for running, jumping, playing in water and just enjoying being with each other.

Newest member of our family is Alicen Clair with her mother Melissa, from the sounds of things Alicen really likes being outside, she is almost 3 months old.   You can see Cynthia in the back ground fixing the flap on her tent.

Grandson Jacob was a real help in keeping up with the little kids.  Here he is talking with Rosemary our great granddaughter, in the back ground you see Cynthia working around and her granddaughter Lola trying to help !

Cynthia setting up her kitchen under a wonderful shelter, her son Marco is to the right doing some picture taking of his own.

 Sister Judy taking advantage of some shade while she watches the coming and goings of the kids.

 Melissa brought the wading pool for the kids and at first the water was COLD but didn't take the kids long to figure out it was OK.  Cynthia, Melissa and Isaac under the shelter and Lola in the water.

Just a camp view with the shelter over the table to protect the food that might happen to be out. :)

So many pictures missing, didn't show Sandra, Zdenka, and some others.  Will get with my grandson Marco and see if he will share some photos with me.  I can only hope.

2012 Family Get Together, just can't call it a REUNION as feel it is really just a family getting together to know each other, eat good food, talk and bring each other up to date on our family members.  :)
We met at Hilgard Junction Park where the Grand Round River flows by the picnic and camping area.  What fun the little kids have in the water that is refreshing but not so high and swift they can't play in it.

Grandson Marco Mendoza is laying on his stomach taking close up pictures of his niece our great granddaughter Lola Raab, who is sitting in the river, loving ever minute of it.  :) Marco is the son of Marco and Cynthia Henderson Mendoza.  Lola is the daughter of Monique Mendoza, daughter of Cynthia and Marco.

Labor Day Week End near Walton Lake, Oregon

Saturday the 3rd of September 2011 found us headed to the Ochoco National Forest again, only this time we went through Prineville and headed to Mitchel on highway 26, branching off on the Ochoco Forest Ranger Station road (highway 22) then we turned and went on toward Walton Lake.  We didn't go all the way up there as there was a small city in that area. :)  What wonderful weather we had, sunshine during the day and cold at night so sleeping was good!  We joined Faye and Jack Groves, Jim and Beverly English (cousins) our son Greg and Jack's sister Patsy and her husband Steve.

I am standing by the creek looking back at the camp.  Arlo is sitting with his coat on and Jim English is standing.

Looking at the camp from the direction of the highway.  Love the forest, with all the really large trees.

Another angle from the highway.

another look from a different angle, our trailer and Faye and Jack's RV.

The creek, don't know the name of it but it was nice.

Across the creek looking South up the hill.  Greg put a box up there to do some target practice.

Sunday afternoon, we roasted hotdogs, how good they tasted then we, Beverly and myself  toasted a couple of those really big marshmellows and they were good but boy were they messy!  Sitting on the left is myself, then Arlo and Beverly.  Jim is taking the picture.

Greg and his dad Arlo Henderson

Games were the name of the game in the evening.

Facing the camera, Jack, his sister Patsy, then Greg and Beverly and with his back to us is Steve. 

Faye at this end of the table.  They are playing a card game called Hand & Foot.

Jim and myself

Jim and Jack cleaning up the bbq getting ready to leave on Monday.

Greg getting himself and his Harley ready to leave and then him leaving....sure enjoyed him coming and spending the weekend with us.

Steve after taking the dogs for a hike up the hill across the highway.

the dogs after their hike, Gus and Buddy

One by one they left, first Steve and Patsy as they had work in the afternoon, then Faye and Jack left after lunch.  We spent the morning playing "Train" dominos then roasted those really good "Hill" wienors and tried to clean out the fridge's, seems like we did a lot of eating . :)  We didn't even bother to cook dinner as we were all full!   Hope to go again as really like that area!  Next time will take more pictures of those really nice trees.

So long until the next time....Rodeo is coming up and Cynthia and her family will be here as will Greg.
