When scheduling camping trips with two different groups I didn't realize I was planning them back to back because Labor Day fell so early this year. I think it turned out for the best. We didn't have to unpack and clean up the mess just to turn around and repack and head out again. Instead, we went to Lake Chelan for three nights with friends and then headed directly over to Mt. Ranier to camp with family and friends for another 3 nights. I think it's the longest I have ever camped. Everyone was worried about me doing that being 7 1/2 months pregnant, but it was true, all you really to is eat and sit around and your husband is always there to help! And the kids ran around and played so much they were asking to go to bed every night at about 8pm. That part was great since school started the next day. Highlights of the trip were Slidewaters where the kids did not stop all day long, except for some long breaks in the giant hot tub and the flea market in Packwood.
Tyson and Rick swimming in Lake Chelan after jumping off the dock.
Kate playing in the sand.
Bradley (with Logan and Tyler) after a trip to his favorite place, the camp consession stand.
Sean, Mike, and Rick, getting some 'air'. An annual favorite.
The women taking a lunch break, not to say that we didn't hit the slides.
Even the younger boys felt like they 'ruled' the park heading wherever they wanted. Not slowed down by the cool/sometimes gusty breeze.
Kate loved ALL the slides, I'm glad she's a little daredevil at such a young age. By the end of the day she was swimming across the hot tub underwater to me.
Feeling even bigger than I look. And getting bigger faster with all of the good camping food.
The boys went on a few hikes to the Blue Hole and Purcell Falls.
And then back home to loads and loads of filthy laundry....... but look at those faces, it was all worth it!
