"Nooooo, not the rock pile. I don't want to go to the rock pile. Pleeeeeeaaaaase can we go to Roosevelt instead? Pleeeeeeaaase?" This was the chorus - lead by Hannah - that the kids sang as we drove to the Columbia River for a weekend of kite boarding and camping. The kids finished up school for the year, Kirk finished up work for the week and we were packed and headed for The Gorge. We informed the girls that we were not going to our usual spot - Roosevelt - which is grassy, has a great beach, lots of friends to play with and is very kid friendly. Instead, we headed to Rufus which is basically a big pile of rocks further down the river but promised to have better wind. We met our friends, the Lorio's, and hoped for some good kite boarding.
We had great wind all weekend and kite boarded several sessions each day. Here's me on my 7m kite.
Here's Kirk catching some air.
The girls had a great time playing on the rocks, in the water, and with their friends Jensen and Kyra Lorio. We all came home tired, in desperate need of a bath and happy. On the way home the kids were asking "When can we go to Rufus again?"
