We do it like the pioneers would have










This weekend was a fun camping trip to White Pines with some good friends. The weather was super hot and we spent a lot of time either in Nason Creek or soaking our feet to keep cool.


The kids had a ton of fun together and played really well. We even tried out Hayley's new Lasso Golf game, which kept the kids and adults entertained.


We were really roughing it, no showers all weekend. We also ran out of space in our coolers, so we decided to use the creek to keep our drinks cool-you know just like the pioneers would have. Erin and Mark tried to catch a salmon in the creek with their bare hands, but no such luck! The salmon were huge and this is the first time we have seen any at Nason Creek.




Erin wanted to walk part of the Iron Goat Trail so we started where the town of Wellington used to be. It was a little spooky walking through the old snow sheds, and being at the site of the avalanche disaster that killed so many people. We did however find out that our daughter Molly is a little Forrest Gump as far as her running skills. She has no problem keeping up with Auntie Erin!




On another note, we bought a new car. It is a Nissan Xterra. We need to get a picture of it, but I did not want to take one today because the car is dusty from camping. I will try to do that soon.
We are exhasted after this weekend. We were packed and on the road by 7 a.m. this morning to avoid the thunder and lightning storm. It blew over pretty quickly, but we wanted to stay dry!

Looks like you guys had fun. When I lived in Montana, that's how we kept our beer cold too. Works pretty well. I won't be at the bbq this weekend, I have to work, but say 'hi' to everyone for me!
