OUR SUMMER HAS OFFICIALLY STARTED!! WE JUST RETURNED FROM OUR FIRST CAMPING TRIP OF THE YEAR. (MANY MORE TO COME!) WE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEND 5 NIGHTS AWAY WITH OUR DEAR FRIENDS, TIM AND TAMMY WIERSMA & THEIR 3 GIRLS.MADISON (MADDY) , SYDNEY AND CLAIRE FIT IN PERFECTLY WITH OUR BOYS. A GREAT FIT...NO FIGHTING AMONGST THEMSELVES. (JUST WITH THEIR OWN SIBLINGS OF COURSE!) WE REALIZED THAT BETWEEN THE 6 KIDS, WE REPRESENTED ALL OF LYNDEN CHRISTIAN ELEMENTARY! CLAIRE-PRESCHOOL, SYDNEY-KINDERGARTEN, JACKSON-1ST GRADE, MADDY-2CD GRADE, MAX-3RD GRADE AND SAM-4TH GRADE! :)
WE SPENT THE FIRST 2 NIGHTS AT THE EVER-CROWDED KOA. THEN WE HEADED OVER TO CONFLUENCE STATE PARK IN WENATCHEE, RIGHT ON THE COLUMBIA RIVER. THIS WAS BY FAR, THE BEST CAMPGROUND THAT WE HAVE EVER STAYED AT!! THE SIGHTS WERE HUGE, TONS OF GRASS AND EXTREMELY CLEAN. PLUS 11 MILES OF BIKING TRAILS, THAT WE TOOK FULL ADVANTAGE OF!! THE WIERSMA'S TOOK ALONG THE BOAT SO WE SPENT HOURS JUST CRUISING AROUND, WATCHING THE KIDS INTER TUBE. I POSTED A PILE OF PICTURES. MOST OF WHICH, NEED SOME EXPLAINING. I'M OFF TO BED SO I'LL FINISH IT UP IN THE MORNING.....THANKS FOR CHECKING IN....
