Camping with Uncle Peter


Uncle Peter took the kids on their annual hiking trip.  They did the Dungeness Trail this year.
Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate and they hiked in the rain for most of the trip.  They were good sports and made the best of it!
Rylee took lots of pics for me. 😊
They always have a good time with Uncle Peter.
Lance met them for burgers after the trip.  He took Kona to the beach while waiting for them.  The kids are already planning next years adventure!

Summer at the Beach

 I took Rylee, Carson and Kennedy to the beach house for a couple of days.  Unfortunately the weather wasn't great, but they still made the best of it.  We went to the pool and did lots of kayaking and paddleboarding.
The rain didn't stop them from getting out on the water!
Smores on the table top fireplace.
The next day we ventured over to the island for some rope swinging.  We only got rained on a little bit!

Its always a great time at the beach!

Round Lake State Park and Silverwood


We went to Idaho for a few days.  We stayed at Round Lake State Park.  It was one of the best state parks I've been to!  The lake was gorgeous.

We went to the Boulder Beach water park.  It started off as a sunny day and then got a little colder towards the end of the day.  The good part is it cleared out the water park so the lines were a lot shorter!
We went to Silverwood theme park the next day.  We waited in a lot of long lines... but it was so much fun!  There were some great roller coasters there.
Our favorite rides were Aftershock and Tremors- the crazy fast wooden coaster.  Stunt Pilot was a blast too.

The last day we hung out at the state park.  We hiked around the lake, fished, kayaked, and the kids searched for invasive snails.
Kona loved hiking around the lake.  She's such a little adventure dog!
The kids took Kona out in the kayak and found 195 invasive snails.  They tuned them in to the visitor center for 11 ice cream bars!
Lance and I hung out at the beach while the kids kayaked around.  It was such a beautiful day!
It was such a great trip with lots of family time.  I would love to come back to this campground someday!
