Camping and Silverwood

We headed to Spokane to camp at Clear Lake with Lacey and her family. We realized this was the first time we went camping with friends and not family and we had a great time. We borrowed TJ's grandparents big red truck to pull our friends trailer, so the kids were totally excited to ride in it. The ride was about 6 hours and the kids did great. We stopped mid-way through in Ellensburg for fantastic burgers at Campus U Totem. They played the Kindle, I-Pod, listened to music, colored and took a nap to make it the rest of the way. 

 We were going to tent it, but then realized a week in a tent would be really long, so we rented a cabin and it was well worth it. Kenton and Sophia slept in a bunk bed (again, they were excited about that) and we had a queen bed. Usually the beds in cabins are uncomfortable, but this bed was SOOOO comfortable. TJ still rants about the mattress!

  We went to Silverwood for 2 days and played in the lake and boat for the other days. We literally went on the boat from 12pm-7pm....SO FUN! Lots of swimming, tubing, and other water sports. 

 SILVER WOOD was a blast...Both kids loved all the rides they could go on. Although, Sophia loved the rides, her attitude was off so we had some minor moments throughout the days. Sophia took care of Kenton on all the rides we couldn't fit on! Kenton wanted to go on everything! Sophia went on the corkscrew roller coaster that went upside down and Tremors with a 100 ft drop at the beginning...She definitely surprised me on that one. 

TJ and Brett thought it was hilarious to put quarters in the squirting machines and attack  the poor innocent people on bumper boats.

   And part of camping is always campfires!

 Thank you Lacey and family for loads of fun!
