Jon and I finally got a chance to go on a vacation. We've both been working hard all summer, so we jumped at the opportunity to get away for a few days. Jon's family goes up to Oregon every year to camp, and despite the face that I'm not the biggest fan of camping, Jon convinced me to go. We flew into Medford, Oregon and were greeted by his Grandparents, Uncle, Aunt, and Cousin. We spent 6 days camping at Howard Prairie Lake and had a great time. We may not have been completely prepared for the weather, but we were able to enjoy our time escaping from the monotony of our usual routines. When I say we weren't prepared for the weather... it was FREEZING!! I may have had to layer every article of semi-warm clothing I brought just to survive (ok, a little dramatic), but I did make it out alive. I haven't gotten all of the pictures that were taken on our little adventure, but I will post the ones that I took for now. I'm so glad I was able to get away and spend time with Jon's amazing family. We had a lot of fun and look forward to joining them for another vacation in the future.
Yes, we are eating ice cream even though it was freezing. Ice cream is always delicious and hey, traditions are traditions... who am I to break them? I think I ate like 5 of those suckers.
We went fishing one morning; we got out on the lake as the sun was rising and it was beautiful. This was my first time really fishing, so it was a new experience. I was secretly hoping I wouldn't catch anything (I know, I'm a girl... Jon reminded me of this multiple times), and sure enough, I didn't. Jon's cousin Meagan was the only one to catch one, I guess it's late in the season, but I had fun learning and experiencing new things.

Every year they bring the Sea Doo out to the lake and we had a lot of fun cruising the lake. We all sucked it up and got in the freezing cold water on the tube. I was completely numb after this, but it was worth it.
We had a great time and I really can't wait to go back in the future. Thanks for everything, we had a lot of fun and appreciate everything you did for us!!
