Camping: The First Trip Of The Season

This last weekend we were able to get away and enjoy some time with friends for a quick but fun camping trip.  My friend Michelle invited us to go and stay in their trailer at her parents property in Eastern Washington near Winthrop.  I jumped at the chance since Cory was going to be gone working all weekend so my thought was why stay here!?

We left Friday after Alyssa got out of school and we all rode over together.  The girls were so excited to be riding together in the back and to be sharing a bed together.  The ride over was great!  We stopped in Cashmere to have a quick bite, a little park time, and bathroom break.  Then we hit the road once again for another hour and half or so before we got to camp.  We took HWY A and went through Chelan.  It really made me want to stop but luckily I will be back very soon!

Once we got to camp the party was on!  The kids just started running around and playing with all the toys.  For dinner we did up pizza and relaxed and visited for awhile.  The kids all went to bed pretty well. 

Saturday was more fun.  The kids all got to take turns on the riding mower, we went down to the river and played, we attempted to fly kites, and did a lot of running around in the fields!  There was not one kid there that wasn't tired.  Michelle and I stayed up again after her parents turned in and put their other grandson that they brought with them to bed.  Again the kids were out like rocks!

Sunday both of us were sad to see it come and honestly were trying to figure out a way that we would be able to just stay for the whole week!  Unfortunately we are both back to our normal lives but I can say I'm truly excited for this summer and all of the adventures we have planned with the families! 
Our drive home was honestly quick but the kids were very tired and refused to sleep.  The boys got a quick one in but after that the next few hours were exhausting!
 
Both kids had a great time and Alyssa keeps talking about and can't wait to go back!  Let the summer fun begin!
