HOT! Suddenly, after weeks of colder than average weather and overcast days, it's sunny and mid-90s. We went camping despite the uncomfortable heat, and found respite on the shores of a tributary of the middlefork of the Willamette for a nice, long afternoon "nap." That's "nap" as opposed to nap without quotes meaning the kind that doesn't actually involve any sleeping. Rather, we threw rocks, sticks and leaves into the water, painted pictures, sang songs, chased ants and butterflies, and jumped on Mom and Dad if they showed any signs of taking a real nap. Who could sleep when it's this hot, anyway? What's that, Mom? You could have? Well, you had more fun playing with me. Promise.
