When we were in Rapid City, South Dakota, visiting the Wapiki Waterpark, we met the Tapio family. It was an immediate friendship and fellowship with this sweet family. They invited us out to their home in Washington, if time allowed, so we decided to go ahead and meet up with them.
What a blessing! They live out in the country, on rolling hills and pastures. They also have full hook-ups on their acreage too!
We actually stayed with them for a week, and it was filled with fun from start to finish. :)
From Cannon Beach to jumping in the river to four-wheeling, to blueberry picking, time was filled with fun and great memories.
We also went to the local's favorite, Burgerville! YUM!!!
Sarah's parents own a dairy farm, which is more of a cattle ranch now, and the kids loved climbing on the huge stacks of hay and farm equipment. :)
While we were there, Peter competed in a race, Hood to Coast, which lasts for 3 days! We went to Mt. Hood to cheer him on and the other runners along the road. There is a beautiful lodge at the top, and we actually had a chance to play in the snow and have snow ball fights! IN AUGUST!!
Lastly, Todd, Peter and Tanner went on a once in a lifetime river-rafting ride!!! They had such a wonderful time. :)
Thank you Tapio family for your hospitality, transparency, and sweet fellowship!
We miss you already!
Blessings,
Steph
