Happy 3rd Birthday Cameron!  

Cameron and his cousin Owen celebrated their Birthday's together with a gathering of friends and family this last weekend.  We all enjoyed a rather sunny and warm afternoon at the beach!  The kids played in the sand, turned over rocks and hunted for crabs (the one with the missing leg is still quite the conversation piece around here), tested out the water, ate hot-dogs and of course cake (Cameron's request this year; a Blueberry Birthday cake), opened presents, climbed on logs and simply enjoyed running around and playing together.  We had a wonderful day!  Thank you to all who came and for helping us wish our little ones a Happy Birthday!

Our accommodations



When you want to build a fence using crochet needles, Holden's craft corner is the place!







First school bus ride ever!




Packing up a family of four, hard work.  Gas in the car, $30.00.  6 hour drive, long.  2 hour boat ride and $97.00 later, fun.  35 minute school bus ride up the mountain by switch back, exciting.  Seeing old friends welcome you to camp, joyful.  Spending 3 nights away from it all in  a village located in the remote area of the Cascade Mountains above Lake Chelan together as a family, priceless!  

Thank you Joan and Art for such a wonderful time!  We Love you guys!
