CAMPING

Just after Seth's birthday we headed to Kamiak Butte with Zac, Kristen and Sophie for our first camping outing. It was a success! Man, was it hot! Luckily all the spots are pretty shady, so you're not left out in the sun. It's a small campground, with only about 7 sites, but that was perfect for what we were looking for....something quiet and low-key. The kids had a great time with Sophie. Serena came too, but it was so hot for her, she just kinda camped out in the grass. Zac and Kristen made us lots of yummy food so we ate really well....aside from all the junk food we brought along too! With just a small hike we could hit the playground, which the kids loved, and the scenery was gorgeous overlooking the Palouse with ripe wheat fields all around. It was a test run, and the test was successful. Hoping to do more camping next year!

 

Ella loved holding Sophie's leash and taking her all over the campsite

E and L LOVED the tent. Even though it was 215 degrees in there!

Like always, Luke was happy playing catch with anything. This time around - a frisbee

As we came upon this bridge, we saw a blue heron perched on the fence.You can't see it in the picture, but he flew off and I tried to get a pic as he flew over the river

Keystone Light - its a must have while camping, am I wrong?

Love this view
