By the time we got to the summit (9,000'), the wind picked up with 30-mph gusts and the temperature dropped into the 40's...so, of course, boys want to take their shirts off!

Mt. Bachelor
The Chandler Family went on a little hike on Mt. Bachelor in central Oregon today. It was in the mid-80's and beautiful when we started from the parking lot below, but grew chillier as we climbed...

Huck Finn
Grandpa built a small wooden dock (supported by plastic barrels) to help launch the kayaks. Shockingly, one of our sons saw this as an opportunity to play Huck Finn: disconnected the ropes, added a small battery-operated motor, and rigged up an anchor. With this kind of mobility, it seemed only obvious that the dock should be turned into a movable island for camping out.
This is a picture of what the dock looked like at 6am one morning, with 4 boys camping inside. NOTE: if Lisa Price is reading this, then Spencer is NOT one of them...we would not subject your son to such danger!!
