Camping and more Camping!

Blake really wanted to take advantage of camping this summer, well I think we've accomplished that. Our camping season kicked off with camping at Ocean Shores with Brent and Ashley Thompson. We met them up there as they were making there way from Utah to Yakima, WA to have another wedding reception and visit family. It was a great time. The weather was a little cool, but we made the most of it. Blake rekindled his love with flying kites, and building sand castles. It was fun to see Blake and Brent (they grew up together in Yakima) playing together as if they were 12 again.

Next stop, San Juan Islands, Lopez Island to be exact. One of my girlfriends from high school, who we ran into at church, her parents own about 30 acres on Lopez Island. It was so beautiful. It's right on the ocean, but the camping area is far enough back that you feel like you're also in the deep woods. We got to do a little kayaking, fly fishing, dirt bike riding, and playing football and volleyball. I think there was about 6 couples and there kids that all went. Blake and I were the only ones without any kids. It was a great couple of weekends!
