Labor day weekend camping at Ohanapecosh

We camped at Mt Rainier for Labor Day weekend.  We had never been to Ohanapecosh but had heard amazing things about it, so when our neighbor invited us we were definitely in!  We camped with 2 families from our neighborhood, so Carson had lots of boys to play with.

The first day we ventured down to the river.  The kids swam (Brrrrr) and climbed on the many fallen logs.

Behind our campsite was a big hill that led down to the river.  The kids played down there and built an awesome fort out of rocks and logs.

The above right picture is the fort they built.

Carson and Lance did some rock jumping into the river.  Carson is so brave, he kept wanting to jump higher and higher.  It was a shock to his system every time he hit that cold water.  Brrrrrr!!

The second day we hiked to Silver Springs waterfall and the Grove of the Patriarchs.  The waterfall was beautiful and a great halfway point to rest.  

The Grove of the Patriarchs was pretty cool.  The trees were huge!

This natural "slide" was pretty awesome!

The third day we drove into Packwood to go to their big flea market, then had lunch at the White Pass Taqueria and Taproom.  That evening we walked around and explored the campground.

The kids had a blast on the hammocks.  We were able to put up 6 hammocks between 4 trees, so each kids was able to have one.  They loved it!  All the campers walking by commented on them.

Every night we played games and sat around the fire.  The kids always rode bikes at dusk.  It was such a fun trip and a great campground!  We will definitely be back!
