Weekend Camping Trip

 October 18, 2013
Weekend Family Campout to celebrate Josh's birthday.

Watching the sea lions on the docks in Astoria.
 Climbing the Historic Astoria Column. 
164 steps up.
 The views from the top.
 The boys playing with their guns in our cabin at Fort Stevens State Park.
 Kaden's faux coon-skin cap that he picked out with his allowance.  He was so excited!
October 19th, exploring the area.
  Battery Russell at Fort Stevens.
It was one of nine concrete gun batteries used by the US Army Coast Artillery Corp.   Although it was closed as an active sight back in 1944, it is now the ultimate play ground for boys.  They could have stayed all day exploring and playing.
Fort Stevens Shipwreck
After the boys changed into some dry clothes, we drove into town to ride the Astoria Trolley.
 Checking out the sights near the Maritime Museum.
