Jack had a baseball tournament in Vancouver, Washington (about 2.5 hours south of us, close to the Oregon border) during the first weekend of July. All five of us went down for it, with Dad, Joseph, and Henry camping at Paradise Point State Park while Mom and Jack stayed at the team hotel. Once again, Lakeside came away as champions, scoring 6 runs in their last at-bat to win the championship game 11-7.
While Joseph had baseball, the camping contingent found lots to keep themselves occupied. We hiked up Beacon Rock, a large monolith on the Columbia River on the border of Washington and Oregon, noted by Lewis and Clark in their journey (it's about 100 miles from where they reached the ocean). We also had a chance to play frisbee golf and hike along the Lewis River.
