Horning's Hideout 09

Gerry and I took our fifth annual trip to the Northwest String Summit this past weekend. This is something we look forward to all year long. There's good music, wonderful people, and camping at one of the coolest places around.

Highlights from this trip include reconnecting with friends who we made over the years at summit, camping with good friends, Reed saying salanamander (there was a pond there with lots of rough skinned newts), seeing the space station pass overhead one evening during the music, and of course, lots of great music!!

The lowlight of the trip was that Spring came down with some sort of bug the night before we left. We decided to go ahead and go and hope it wouldn't be too bad, but she was out of sorts for most of the weekend. Poor thing is still under the weather and worse yet, we managed to spread the bug to other kiddos and parents while we were camping. :-(

As a result of Spring being sick, we didn't take tons of pictures, but we did get a few good ones.

Spring thought it was hilarious to sit in the suitcase while I packed.

Daddy and Reed enjoying the music. The camera freaked out because of the dust, but I love this picture anyway!

Darkness means it's time to play with glow sticks! Spring was enjoying chewing on her glow stick so much, that Reed thought he'd see if it was all she made it out to be.

The happy family.
