Nason Creek

Last weekend we went camping at Nason Creek. It was the first time the kids have been 'real' camping.  The only camping they've known so far has been in the backyard.  This time we had to drive, put up a tent on the hard ground, and cook with fire.  The real deal. We were with three other families so the kids had a blast running from campsite to campsite and exploring.

Car packed and ready.
It's amazing how much stuff we packed for two nights.

Good morning.
Starting off the day with hot chocolate.

Our crew of kids ready for a 2 mile hike.
We  saw beautiful scenery and got some good exercise in the process.




Carmen and her best buddy went horseback riding, which was a treat.  Carmen was brave and went all by herself.  Mom stayed back and watched as Carmen bravely took the entire trial ride.  Man, is she growing up.




We visited Lake Wenatchee State Park,
built a shelter of driftwood and played on the playground.



Of course, what camping trip is complete without s'mores?!
Lots and lots of s'mores.


It was a super fun weekend and it has given us the camping bug. Speaking of bugs, the (mosquitos) were out in full force and Carmen has lots and lots of itchy bumps to show for it.  Max however somehow managed to escape with just one.  Maybe he's not quite as sweet as Carmen...

We look forward to our next camping adventure!
