The start of a THREE WEEK Vacation!
Camping at Steamboat Rock on Banks Lake!
I love, love, love camping in Eastern, WA. You can always - pretty much - count on it being really warm.
Of course, just before we left Zach was showing signs of being sick. Darin took him in Saturday morning and found out that he had strep and the rest of us needed to be tested. I was pretty certain I had it too because my throat had been hurting all week. Strep has been going around our neighborhood since July 4th. Yep, I had it too.
It was a long 6 hour drive - because of numerous stops - so we were SO thankful when we pulled up to our spot and we could run around and enjoy a beautiful, warm evening.
Monday ended up being one VERY rainy day. We had a quiet day in the trailer hanging out. It was sad, but the sun came out in the afternoon and we decided to run into Grand Coulee (my birth place) and take a tour of the Grand Coulee Dam (my Dad helped build the 3rd power plant).

Then that evening we watched the light show. It is was pretty cool.
The rest of the week was beautiful!
Elissa was very excited to be able to go and buy a treat by herself.
The best part of camping for the kids is all the new friends to play with (because every kid is a friend).
The only bummer was the swarm of mosquitos. Poor Zach was eaten up.
The red dots were all over his face and neck and legs.
It was a fun, mostly relaxing time hanging out. We would have stayed another night if we didn't have obligations on Friday. We are definitely coming back next year.
