Labor Day Camping

How great is it to get away for 4 days without even taking vacation!? We went camping with the Allens near Ione, Washington on the Pend Oreille River. Here's a few pics of our adventure:



Sunday was a chill day.  After going to church in a SMALL BRANCH, the kids made collages out of stuff they found around camp.  What a great activity.  Caitin's ended up with a beer bottle cap and a fuzzy dinosaur.


We also went on a hike Sunday afternoon around Sullivan Lake and spent some time throwing rocks into the lake.  Caitin's got a powerful arm, as I witnessed first hand when she clocked me in the back of the head.  Throws just like her mother.  Luckily I was wearing a hat, or there would have been blood.

The girls loved tubing...at least these two did:

Caitin loved the idea.

But she's been developing a strong sense of survival.  It really put a damper on things:


 
Oh, and we did use the boat for some wakeboarding too.  The water was a bit cool, and occasional breezes made for a bit of chattering teeth, but August is NOT the end of the season!  Yeah for Labor Day!
