Chill, Cider, & Chocolate!

It was a beautiful, cool, crisp morning this past Monday! My dear friend, Kim, came early to help me set up for the ladies! 

We brought a bunch of stuff and threw it together.
​Pretty sure we "nailed it"!  ;)

People started showing up with snacks & treats. I was so excited, I think my brain fizzed out. The cider and water (for cocoa) were hot and ready to go! My husband, Josh, showed me how to use the camping grill that morning, so I was just glad I successfully ran it smoothly. 

We had quilts laid out, blankets to the side, and picnic tables set! 

Sorosis Park is beautiful! It is one of my favorite places in The Dalles, Oregon. The mornings are so quiet and private. As you can see from the pictures, we almost had it all to ourselves! It's a large park, so there are a lot of choices. I picked this one because it was right by the playground, and it had running room for the kids while still allowing the parents to keep an eye on them.

We had time of relaxing, a lot of fun, and rich conversations. To see updates and future events, please "like" Rugged Soul. I intend to do a variety of get-togethers. So, whether you are from The Dalles, Hood River, surrounding areas, or a tourist passing through, we would love to have you join us!

Here's a fun picture of this awesome group of ladies!
