Sun Lakes

Our summer has basically consisted of camping every weekend which has been awesome! Last weekend we went to Sun Lakes with some friends of ours. We had never been there before and while the campground was really crowded (and you were VERY close to your neighbors) it turned out to be a great time. The kids loved having Maddie to play with and the campground had a lot of "extras." This was definitely not dirt camping!

Kamakazie Week in Chelan!!

We spent our annual week in Chelan July 18th-24th. As always, it was a blast!! The "Kamakazie Tours" group has been going to Chelan, the last full week of July for almost 40 years. It started with my parents and a couple of other couples and has grown to many more! This year, we had the biggest turnout in recent years as most of the "kids" (that would be us) and their kids made the trip. One night at dinner we counted and there were 98 people!! There is always something to do, people to play with, socialize with, wine taste with and eat with! Here are a ton of pictures from the week... as always, can't wait until next year!

Mt. Rainier... Cougar Rock!

We spent last weekend camping at Cougar Rock Campground at Mt. Rainier with two sets of friends. It'd been 10 years since we'd been to Mt. Rainier, the last time was when Jeff and I were newly dating and we went with his family. It was absolutely beautiful on Saturday! We took a hike to Carter Falls. Luke was tired and didn't do too well on the way up but galloped on the way down. Emma was a champ! She wore crocs on the way up, and flip flops on the way down and was in the lead the entire way. :) We hiked to a beautiful waterfall and then headed back to camp. Later in the day, we took a shuttle bus up to Paradise and looked around there. The scenary was absolutely beautiful!!
