My bro and SIL had fun taking the Little Miss on a "treasure hunt" as we all tried our hand at geocaching. We successfully located a few caches, with the Little Miss displaying her "frog" find below.
Hands down though our girl most enjoyed taking care of "Sage" (a.k.a., the world's most-patient-dog). Here you can see Sage trying to recover from all the walks and hugs.
We concluded the last night of our adventure with the real reason we trekked all the way to the middle of nowhere to camp...dinner at the Cowboy Dinner Tree. Even though it's in a very remote location, this place is well known by all the locals in Central Oregon. 
You would never know from the outside that it's a restaurant but the food does not disappoint. You have your choice of top sirloin steak (more like a roast since it's a 26 - 30 oz cut!) or a whole roasted chicken. That's after eating a fresh green salad, yeasty buttered rolls, cowboy-style baked beans and a baked potato. Needless to say, no one leaves without a very full doggy bag to go!
My brother and I camped regularly with our family when we were kids so it has been a lot of fun to get to share that experience with the Little Miss. We are looking forward to next year's camping adventure and are sure enjoying this outdoor family tradition!

I was looking forward to a pic of the steak that Nate was going to consume! Looks like you guys had a great time. Love the one of the dog. He looks like he very much likes the little girl!
Why is Nate wearing pink to the Cowboy Dinner Tree of all places :) Did he order chicken too? ;)
Seriously missing you guys, but so glad you get to hang out with the Millers.
OK Mel, the steak pic is posted. I wasn't sure about posting a slab of beef but there you go!
Sam, you think it's about time Mr. Wagner got rid of that shirt eh? The red has faded to pink! We miss you guys too...hopefully we can catch up Labor Day weekend?
It is so fun to have those kinds of traditions.
That's better. Wow. Did he really eat all that? Gads. I hadn't noticed the pink shirt. That's the best way to get rid of it. Tell him it's PINK!
Nope Mel, he didn't eat all of it, not even close! We used it to make steak fajitas and had enough for our family for a couple of nights.
