This year the family met at Alta Lake State Park in Pateros, WA. It was about 100 degrees every day, but that didn't damper the fun! There was swimming, golfing, hiking, fishing, horse shoes, sitting around the propane fire (real fires were banned), firework displays, and of course eating and drinking! We all had a great time and hope to make the trip again next year.
We're ready to go - kids and gear were loaded by 7am! It took 11.5 hours to get there - the kids were troopers!
Swimming in the lake: Cousin Nick, Mom, Gracie, Emmett, & Cousin Suzanne
Fish Tales: Success on the river - 10 King (a.k.a. Chinook) Salmon caught by 8am (they were on the water by 4am!). Jason's brother, Jerrod, is a guide in north-central WA, and is responsible for the great catch.
Fun in the hot weather - Emmett spraying down everyone - whether they wanted it or not!

Hmmm, who's next?
Aunt Patty giving Emmett a squirt.
Grammy's next!
Cal was not this unhappy the whole time, but for some reason this is the only picture I have of Ian, Julie, and Cal together. Maybe this is what they really thought about bringing a 17-month-old camping..... :)

Jessie spend most of her time napping - it was too hot to do much else.

Hmmmm, point or no point?
Thanks for bringing the bubble machine Dan & Suzie!
