Lake Billy Chinook

Our 4th of July weekend was spent camping at Billy Chinook with the Thompsons again.  We had another great year of sunshine, playing in the lake, boating, tubing, eating delicious meals put together by Matt, and just enjoying good company.  I really love this tradition we started!

Since there are no fireworks allowed over there, we gave the kids glow sticks to play with on the night of the 4th. 

The kids always have a great time playing in the water and on floaties

A couple of the nights we were there, some park volunteers gave presentations up at the amphitheater.  The kids learned about owls, vulchers, and how to build fires

Most nights Buddy Boy was asleep before we started the fire, but he did get to enjoy it one night

Having fun on the boat

This is how Lincoln spent the majority of his time on the boat.  He was such a good boy!

He was so good the whole trip!

 Each kid got a turn driving the boat.  Soph thought that was pretty cool.
