Sun Lakes 2010

Our family went camping over in Eastern Washington this last weekend with about six other families. This is one of our favorite summer activities and I was sad to have to come back. We went to Sun Lake State campground just outside of Ephrata, Wa. As children both Thom and I's families would spend summers out at this lake. The last time I had been there was when Hollie was one for a family reunion so it was nice to get back.

Friday was a long day, of course we left at 6pm peak traffic time for the Memorial Holiday. A half hour into our trip the truck broke down :( We did finally get to our destination. It was beautiful warm sunny during the day and at nights it had the Eastern Wa winds. Saturday we had a huge breakfast and then played Volley ball, Lauren and Natalie went off to hang at the docks (what all the teens did), Hollie and Alexa went for a walk around the park. We took the kids and rented paddle boats.... The girls loved being out on the water. They we sprayed with water on purpose by the jet ski's and then the boys took out a boat and they chased each other. Yes, there was a little flirting on the 12year old part.... Not ready for the youngest to grow up. We had mexican night for dinner and played Liars dice. Sunday we had a mini golf championship and then went out on Craigs boat. Thom jumped from a 20 ft cliff into freezing water he couldn't catch his breath on the way up, so the rest of us would not get in that water.

Hollie stayed for an extra day while the rest of us headed home. I had to work on Monday for the PACU. The drive home was considerably better. Will post pics as soon as I can.
