For the 4th we decided to take a week long camping trip. Since taking that long of a trip anywhere with a one year old is a little risky we decided to venture into the Eastern Oregon forests near where I grew up and where my parents currently live (free daycare is a wonderful thing). We managed to find the perfect camping spot, close to water but far enough away so the bugs were very minimal. We arrived later in the afternoon and began setting up camp, which took a little over an hour. After traveling and setting up, it was time to relax a bit down by the creek. Within just a few minutes of being there something caught my eye. It was a small water snake crossing the creek but he was swimming very erratically. When I walked over to see what was wrong with him I noticed that he had a death grip on a Bullhead. I'm not sure how long this battle had been going on but the fish was pretty much just allowing the snake to manhandle him. After watching for about 15 minutes the snake managed to wrestle the fish into a small bush where I couldn't see them. I'm sure it was a struggle but that snake is probably sunning himself right now still trying to digest that fish. It was a great way to start the vacation.

This was only the first day of our epic journey. More blog posts soon to follow as I am sifting through all the photos that I took. Come back soon to see what follows.
