The night before Eli was going to be returning to Oregon, Caden got a phone call from his boss, Uncle Kerry, telling him that his water rights had run out in the basin, and therefore there was no more work for him. Caden loved that job, so he was a little disappointed, but the call was perfect timing because the raspberries had just come on in Oregon, so Caden jumped in the car with Eli the next morning and headed off to make some money picking berries for the next couple of weeks. Kami was unable to go as she had girls camp:( We all missed Caden - I think he missed us, too- even though it's hard to top all the fun with cousins to be found there!! I thought I'd post some of the pictures he took while there:

The girls and I may not have made it on the hike if it weren't for Caden. He kept offering to let Kilynn ride on his shoulders, and she did for the majority of the hike. Most of the way up and all the way back down. I was so grateful!
