Camping

Despite having a new addition to our family. Jim and I promised ourselves that we wouldn't let it slow us down. At just 10 weeks old, Payten experienced her first camping trip. She did so well, that we decided to go multiple times this summer. Our first trip was with our friends the Pyles and the Pollards. We headed up I-90 and just found a campsite off the road. We bunked with Jill, Bart, and their baby Holden in their HUGE 10 person tent. It was like a sleepover party!

Next camping spot was Orcas Island. We headed out Friday night, drove up to Anacortes and took the ferry over. We met up with friends Tim and Carly, and their baby Ali, and some of their friends. Orcas Island is such a beautiful Island. I can't believe we haven't gone their sooner. We had a blast camping all weekend, playing in the warm lake, hiking through forests, playing in waterfalls, and sitting around the lantern (this was during the heat streak in late July, so their was a fire ban) playing games. We can't wait to do it again next Summer.

Our latest camping trip of the summer was at Lake Easton State park. We went with the Pyles and Pollards again. We bunked up with the Pollards again, and had a blast telling stories around the campfire.

Hopefully we will do it again soon!
