Camping by Marblemount

Ahh, there's nothing like a roaring campfire on a cool day to recharge your spirits. Notice the Dutch oven? That's even better. It creates that wonderful feeling of anticipation! What wonderful taste treat awaits us?
No worries. A little rain can't dampen the spirits of true Washingtonian campers. Notice Eric's fine raingear. He's been carrying that garbage bag turned raincoat around for years hoping for that perfect opportunity to show it off.
Tarps can be a camper's best friend! This was a nice campground, our surroundings were so green and beautiful. The Cascade River was running right along side our camp site.
Eager fishermen! Carson was the only one lucky enough to snag a fish!
Devin and Keith tried their hand at fly fishing on this gorgeous river.
Monday was cool in the morning, but the afternoon out on the rocky beach felt so warm, it was very relaxing.

Fun in the Sun!

We love tubing on Lake Samish, especially when the sun is shining!

Mount Erie

Even though you can drive right up to the top of the mountain and walk on paved pathways to the lookouts, we still like to make things challenging. The boys took this opportunity to do a little impromptu rock climbing.
It was a hazy day, but still very beautiful.

Pretty cool place for a picnic lunch of homemade soft tacos.
Having fun with the family!
