When we first arrived, it was really hot, the kids were hungry and whiny, we couldn't get the tent up, Olivia had a massive blowout, and we were attacked by mosquitoes. Honestly, I was ready to get back in the car and head home. But then Megan and Jeff showed up, we found some shade, the kids got full tummies, the tent went up and the fun began! As soon as we could, we headed to the lake to play in the water.
The kids loved these big logs floating in the water.
It was SO beautiful!
Grace thought it was pretty funny that her snack made a smiley face.
After spending the afternoon at the lake, we headed back to our campsite for dinner, s'mores, and lots of excitement about the night ahead in the tent!
The next morning was cold, but we warmed up with coffee and a campfire.
Breakfast time!
Lily LOVED being around Olivia. Every chance she got, she would run over, point and say "Baby!" She also made sure that Olivia always had a paci in her mouth. It was very sweet!
Our family in front of our mammoth tent just before we took it down.
On day 2, we discovered a smaller swimming area, so after packing up, we headed there to play in the water and eat lunch before heading home. It was really cool how the water came up around these trees. The kids got to play in the water and be in the shade!
Our first camping adventure was a great one, and we're already trying to figure out how we can get one more trip in this summer. Thanks Megan and Jeff for all of your help!

Awesome! I grew up camping at Lake Kachess. Now we take our kids there. So fun!
ReplyDeleteThe lake was the highest I have ever seen it.
