Cle Elum camping- Whispering Pines

 

Another long weekend camping trip in the books.  This time we went to Cle Elum.  We left Thursday evening, just in time to stop for dinner and drinks.  We started out with a beer at Dru Brew in Snoqualmie.  It is such a cute place. There is a great outdoor space that would be fun to hang out in nice weather.  Of course it was raining when we were there.  😢 We ate dinner next door at Commonwealth.  Delicious food and a really cool environment!  We will definitely be back.
This was our second trip to Whispering Pines in Cle Elum.  We were lucky to have a site by the river that was not flooded.  The picture above is of the camping sites we stayed in last year.  So crazy!  Just a little wet.
They added a new jumping pillow this year!  The kids were actually the first ones to try it out.  The river was beautiful and flowing fast.  Only one small fish was caught!
We took some walks along the river and saw these cute little marmots.
The kids had a great time in the hammocks as usual.  We camped with our friends Tiffany and Travis, and their 2 kids Landon and Harper.  Landon is one of Carson's best friends and in his class at school.  Harper is a couple of years younger, but shes a lot of fun and up for anything.
We had a couple days with some sun, so we tried out our new kayak.  It worked great!  We skipped going to Lake Cle Elum, as it was a little breezy, but had fun hanging out at the pond at the campsite.
We checked out a new (to us) fishing pond one evening.  The girls kayaked while the boys fished.  Landon was the lucky fisherman- he caught two!
Our friends brought a couple of camping games- the chicken game and bocce ball.  We played bocce ball all around the campground.  It was so much fun!  We also ditched the kids one night and went to the Brick in Rosyln for dinner and drinks.
We had a great time with new camping friends.  Hopefully many more trip with them to come!
