Not Washington, but Diamond Creek. We just got back from 4 days of camping with Nate's extended family. It's an annual reunion every year with some years getting close to 100 people in attendance. Nate gets so excited to go each year. He is like a little kid when we are getting ready to go. But I must say this year definitely stood out. Why you ask? Well we just so happened to rent a camp trailer. Best decision ever. It was actually Nate's idea and I have the suspicion he wanted to rent one so I would realize I couldn't live without it and that would give him more leverage to make an "RV" fund. Let's just say he is a step closer. I especially enjoyed the flushing toilet. I didn't have to hold it until my stomach hurt. I could go anytime I wanted and I also was also able to shower. That is camping in style!
Our cute little RV. I like how you can see Nate's reflection in this picture. The trailer is actually a lot bigger inside than it looks. It can sleep up to 7. 
Nate and Brigham on the last day of camp...climbing one more tree.

The views around Diamond Creek.I didn't take as many pictures as I would have liked. In fact, all of the picutres I took were on our way out of camp. We just had too much fun playing every day. Some of our highlights were as follows:
1) Getting lost on the way there. Nate's been there for the past 29 years and I am still confused on how he gets us lost every time. But we did make it eventually.
2) Playing a lot of volleyball, baseball, and kickball. But thanks to the baseball I rolled my ankle pretty bad and it is quite large. I look like I have cankles. Not my favorite.
3) Watching Skip getting mauled by all the little kids. They loved him.
4) Playing steal the flag Rambo style with marshmallow guns. Very fun.
5) Running 4.5 miles in the mountains with Nate's cousin. I about died. I was not use to the altitude and the trail we took was a a gradual incline. Not my favorite, but it ended up being really fun with Nate trailing behind us on his bike letting us know how far we were running.
6) And of course eating lots of snacks and delicious food and sitting around the campfire in the wee hours of the morning laughing our heads off with the family.
Until next year!!
