Crater Lake

This past weekend I took the kids up to Oregon to visit family for a few days. Oregon is a beautiful state with it's forests and rivers. We went up to Crater Lake for an afternoon. Crater Lake is just awesome and huge and beautiful! I had seen it once before but it was cool to go again. I got a kick out of the chipmunks there. They are the boldest chipmunks I have ever seen. They expect snacks from the visitors and if you don't give them any they would probably gang up on you and throw you over the edge. They probably all have high cholesterol from all the snack food they eat! If you have a chance go see Crater Lake, you will not be disappointed.

Pismo beach August 2010

Ok, I tried to embed this video in the post below but could not figure it out so, here it is...Wyatt and Ian skim boarding at Pismo Beach.

This week we took some time to relax a little at Pismo beach.

He giveth more grace when the burdens grow greater,
He sendeth more strength when the labors increase; To added affliction He addeth His mercies, To multiplied trials His multiplied peace.

When we have exhausted our store of endurance,
When our strength has failed ere the day is half done,
When we reach the end of our hoarded resources
Our Father's full giving is only begun.

His love has no limit, His grace has no measure,
His power no boundary known to men;
For out of His infinite riches in Jesus
He giveth and giveth again.
