Richard and Carmelita Dover
Wedding Anniversary 2007

Yakima RiverFor our anniversary we waited until the last week of August so we could take a week trip to Oregon. Rich has always loved Oregon and has some special places he likes going to and wanted to share them with Carmi. Plus there are some places we have visited in the past that both of us like. Before we went to Oregon we stopped by our friends Lyn and Jan in Proesser, WA. They took us on their boat on the Yakima River and we floated down the river as we ate dinner. They have a fantastic vegetable and flower garden. Their home is always a great place for us to get away from everything. They are like a mom and dad to Rich.

 

We were able to do many fun things during our trip in Oregon. Carmi was stretched, but she ended up really enjoying the various things we did during our trip. We went whitewater rafting, camping, exploring a cave, ride a dune buggy, and horseback riding. Out of alll the things we did, Carmi really liked the whitewater rafting. The next time we go to Oregon, Rich is hoping he can convince Carmi to let them rent their own small dune buggy to drive.

Central Oregon

Sunriver is a resort community in Central Oregon. It is a beautiful area. This is where we explord a mile deerlong cave, went to an obsedian forest, and took some beautiful pictures but they got deleted somehow on the camera-bummer. We camped with a tent and stayed in a cabin near here in a town called LaPine. We went rafting in a town called Bend. There are many things to do in the area. One night we drove through Sunriver and saw many deer along the road.

 

 

  This is the raft we went on and a picture of some of the rapids we went through.
We have some other very good pictures that we will upload later.

Crater LakeCrater Lake

Sad to say the trip to here was not a good one for us. On the drive here Carmi and Rich had a big conflict. It was very challenging for both of us. But we have learned over the last 3 years to take these bad times and to learn from them. These are the times we are reminded that without Jesus we are hopeless people. Without Jesus being the Lord of our life we are two selfish people-even with Him we are selfish at times. Hopefully we don't have two many more of these conflicts to build character after the storm.

 

 

Oregon Coast

Dune BuggyFlorence, Or Carmi strapped in dune buggy. She learned you do not scream and laugh when on sand dunes and wind is blowing.

 

 

Carmi and Rich on the beach. The wind was terrible. Felt sorry for the horses. First Carmi on horsetime for Cami on a horse. She has always been scared to ride a horse. They gave her the oldest horse. He was even too slow for Carmi. She had to keep kicking on him to get him to go. But when was time to go back, he knew it, and all of a sudden he had energy to get home.

 

 

 

Sea LionsOn our way home we camped one night close to Newport. Throughout the night we could hear in the distanceTidal Pool the barking of sea lions. We could not figure out where they were at. We then went to the docks in Newport and there were many of them playing, sleeping, and barking. We had a fun time watching and laughing at them. For two days later we were still barking. smile

While at Newport we visited the Newport Aquarium. Both of us enjoy viewing all the beautiful fish, watching the sea otters (reminds me of my time [Rich] in Alaska), and the sea lion shows.

We also was able to visit some tidal pools on the beach and see some beautiful starfish.
