Ohanapecosh | 2013

We had another awesome camping trip with the Dillon's, Stuard's, Grumble's, Campbell's, Baker's, and I even talked my parents into coming along this year. Unfortunately, Jason ended up having to go out of town the week of this camping trip so I was on my own, but thankfully, my dad and Doug helped me put up our tent and when I realized (the inexperienced camper that I am), that I had forgotten something pretty important, the Dillon's always had everything that you could ever even think to forget! 

The kids had so much fun and the scenery is some of the most beautiful I've ever seen. We're already excited to go back again next year!


This is what greeted us every morning when we stepped out of our tent. The view from our site was spectaular!!!




I am so glad that my mom and dad were able to come with us this year!


Hike to Silver Falls




This is my favorite picture from our trip! Love it.


The kids were crazy. All of them. This is freezing cold glacier water. So cold it HURTS, but that didn't stop them. Then went swimming and cliff jumping. Burrr...




Crazy Lou was the first of anyone there to jump of the cliff and the rock.

Whoops! Slipped off the rock! Seriously, the temperature of the water literally took your breath away. (Oh so I hear, I decided to take everyone's word for it.)



I had to take my parents on the small hike around Lake Tipsoo. It's just so beautiful and they loved it!




Until next year!

Crashing the campout!

Friday we decided to crash the Mendenhall-Stringham campout! When we heard they were just going to be up at Kanaskat again, we invited ourselves up for the day. We got to go on little hikes to the river, bike rides, hang out by the campfire, and David's favorite... ride in the back of old blue! It was a lot of fun!... and the best part is... at night time, we got to drive back home and get in our nice warm beds! Well... I'm sure my kids wouldn't have said this was the best part, but I sure enjoyed it! I guess they're not going to let me get away with this convenient kind of camping much longer... we better plan a real camping trip soon!

the gang!

Going on a bike ride with Uncle Eric!




David wasn't invited on the "big kid" bike ride so he resorted to riding around with mom! It's always fun to ride somewhere different! (It may be hard to find many pictures of David not on his bike these days! He loves it!)

Hike to the river...



Going for a ride in old blue..
(This may have been the highlight of David's day!)

We decided these two look more like siblings than they do with their real brothers!

Thanks for letting us crash the party!

Kanaskat-Palmer

Well, we didn't exactly go camping this weekend, but we did visit Maria & Eric up at Kanaskat-Palmer Camp Site on Friday! Since Kanaskat is only 8 miles from our house it made it easy to go up and hang out for the day and then drive home in the evening and climb into our nice warm beds. (My kind of camping!!) Of course, the kids would have loved to have stayed and camped in the rain, but as Maria would say... I'm a wimp!






The kids hiked, rode bikes, roasted marshmellows and played in our groovy Stringham camper! It was a lot of fun and we hope to do some real camping soon!
