October Camping

Our last camping trip of the year!  We headed away from the 100% chance of rain at Lake Wenatchee to the only 60% chance of Lake Chelan.  We have such bad luck when it comes to camping and weather.  Next year we plan on camping in the SUN!!!  

We had muffins for breakfast on morning number one.  Brooke lined up Pooh and Piglet ("Pigot") to watch her as she ate.

Oliver sat on the table watching everything and practiced sticking out his tongue (his new trick).

Every once in a while we'd here a BANG!  There were many walnut trees surrounding the campground.  Luckily there were no walnut related fatalities.  The squirrels were so much fun to watch.  They would run into the street, smell the nuts, choose the best one and run it to their stash.  There were also a group of quail who ventured into the street and a group of robins too.  Lots of entertainment from our camper windows.

On Saturday, our friends loaded up WAY to early in the morning and headed over to meet us at the park.  For a few years I have been keeping up with their growing family via facebook and was so excited to meet three of them for the first time.  Dawn was a music major with Kent and I at U of Idaho.  We are both adventuresome, outdoorsy and have kids the same age!

The weather was a bit soggy but the kids didn't seem to mind wet feet.  They became good friends very quickly!

Can you get any cuter than Kai?!

Little stick, big stick!  Kai and Brooke were born within a week of each other!

Dawn and I were non-stop photo taking on this trip!

 Here we are with our little ones!  Niko is 3 months and Oliver is now 5 months.  Oliver was very "needy" on this trip.  I think he would have liked dry grass to roll around in... but instead we held him constantly and he was pretty whiny.  He also didn't sleep during the day.  Too much going on, I guess.  As soon as we got home Kent and Oliver slept for 2 1/2 hours!

Saturday night it was pouring down rain so we built a fire in the covered area.  It was so much fun!  The kids ran around in the pitch black and we found them by flashing our flashlights.  

Here was our camping spot!  It was so much fun, but next time I think we deserve a RAIN FREE camping experience!
