Baker is HOME from Alaska

Makenzie missed Baker sooo much while he was away! I have pictures on Costco.com to post of his AK adventures. As soon as I figure out how to post them, i will :) Baker, Grandma and Grandpa came in on a Saturday morning at 8am and Makenzie was so excited! Is it obvious? :)

Camping Part 4: KOA Winthrop

For our final camping trip of the season we headed to the KOA in Winthrop! It gave us a chance to ride bikes in the hills (those pictures are only on my phone), play in the pool (I wish my kids liked the water more...haha) and sit back with some smores! We got an extra special treat every single morning - hot air balloons going up right in the valley next to us. It was pretty cool. I highly recommend camping. It's a great family bonding experience!

Camping Part 3: Lake Perraygin

On our continued camping adventures, every weekend in August, we headed to Eastern WA to check out Lake Perraygin! It has become a new favorite and we plan to go back next summer. The water is warm, the weather is warm and there is great swimming for the kiddos. And, it isn't too far away - about 3 hours. It's nice to have Grandma/Grandpa because they usually take the kids early to have fun and then we head over on the weekend.

Camping Part 2: Port Townsend/Fort Worden

We headed to Port Townsend, sans Shane who was in AK fishing, for our cousins wedding. Grandma and Grandpa took the kids over early and I joined the following day. It was a quick weekend but we had a fun time. No water this time to play in, but we did have fun playing in the bunkers at Fort Worden. Great experience for kids!

Tis the Season for Camping - Part 1: Birch Bay

Can't beat this view!

Ready for the beach

Baker was in Alaska for the entire month of July so our first chance to get out camping was the first weekend in August. We decided to stay near home since we knew that he (and Grandma/Grandpa) would be tired. Birch Bay is great but the water is freezing! Can't believe the munchkins went in....ya right, can't keep them out of it :)
