Rock hounding with Hugo and Lada

Hugo had a long weekend so Dasa and I took the kids and went for a trip to Eastern Oregon to go rock hounding.
Pretty flowers on the pass over the mountains

Stopped at the Warm Springs reservation and Hugo did a pretty good job at the hoop dance.
First stop, thundereggs.
Lana worked pretty hard
Hugo took it seriously and really wanted to find a big one.  
He meticulously cleaned every one he was allowed to keep (weight limits on planes!)
Cliff swallows
The thunderegg ranch was beautiful
Driving to John Day after, we stopped at one of the John Day fossil beds.  Here's us
Fun fossil
First time camping in a tent for the kids
It was cold.  But they all slept on top of room, so...

I froze because my good cold weather bag has a rip from the fated death valley sand storm mad dash.
Lada was adorable, but exhausting

Hugo was great with her in John Day, helping her get to the fossil bed.
Again, Hugo took it very seriously and found some pretty cool fossils.
Lada had fun playing in the dirt, to a point.  
Overall, it was so much fun to spend time with them and show off a bit of Oregon
