The Unexpected Visitors

Lots of itching going on!

We couldn't wait to get out camping!  It's already August and we were headed out for our very first use of the camper for the year.  We arrived at the campground, set up and prepared to have some fun.  We started to notice that the park was full of campers but no people!  Soon we found out why when we all started getting swarmed by mosquitoes!  It wasn't long before we decided our two night stay was not going to work out there.

On the road again...

So with a quick call up to Kent's parents we decided to drive a few hours to their house to escape the bugs!  Good thing Kent is so quick with setting up and taking down the camper.

We wanted to see the laser light show in the evening at Grand Coulee Dam, but a quick photo op was all we got this time.  There is more water than normal, so it was flowing over the top of the dam.  It was neat to see and hear!

So after a good night's sleep we headed here... the Kettle River!  It was cloudy and 77*, perfect for a day at the beach.

The water was colder than normal, but it doesn't keep our water-loving girl away!

Oliver played and played and played in the sand.  And ate it too!

All anxieties about sand are now GONE!

What a wonderful day at the beach!
