Camping

Our second camping trip this summer.  Since we all had so much fun camping the first time, we bought some new camping gear to try out.  We decided to stick with Lake Roosevelt for this summer and camp at Fort Spokane since it's close (1 hour drive) and we're familiar with the area.  Boating, exploring new beaches, Connor searching for crawdads and frogs, Kaiden building sand castles, Piper looking for sticks or anything she can find, Jason snorkeling and swimming by the shoreline, me relaxing and keeping an eye on everyone...

 Above, Kaiden getting some driving directions from dad.  Jason has taught Connor how to drive the boat just in case something were to happen and Connor needed to rescue dad (and it's great for him to learn).  Now it's Kaiden's turn to learn the basics of driving.  He loves it.
Below, a deer literally walked right up on our camp site and then wondered around us.  The boys had no idea since they were playing in the hammock.  Connor likes to sit in the hammock and draw.  Kaiden just likes to be right next to his big brother.  We had another awesome and relaxing camping trip!  It's so much fun to spend quality time with my family and explore new beaches.
