The Fosters Go Camping

We went on a two-night camping trip to a really cool state park - Scenic Beach - just about 20 minutes from our house this weekend. It's right on the Hood Canal and, in true Washington fashion, was beautiful. I think that we've been ruined forever as far as campsites go. If we ever move, we may just have to come back here to camp. Last year when we went on our 9-day camping trek we started in Washington and then went down to California. The campsites were alright, but they got a little less beautiful each place we stopped.




Max and, thankfully, Kelly's favorite activity to pass the time when we got there Thursday night.

Just a few random favorites

This was Kelly's favorite thing to do...thus, the filthy shirt, hands and face she sported most of the weekend.

I sure think these little people are good-lookin'

We took the 5-minute walk to the beach with the intention of throwing rocks in the water and looking for crabs. When we got there people were swimming and we thought they were crazy. After a few minutes we decided wading would be fun. Pretty soon our son who we have to push to be adventurous is in up to his neck without ANY prompting from us. It was awesome.
This is Max roasting his marshmallow. :) We'd roasted several marshmallows on sticks but he remained a fan of the unroasted and ate many. We were all just chatting around the fire when I looked down to see Max's version of marshmallow roasting. It gave us all a good laugh.




Good friends of ours, the Beiers, came for dinner and s'mores on Friday night. They brought a few hammocks and their cat. Max was in heaven! It was so fun to have them join us.

Some tent photos

I thought they looked cute - Kelly especially - chillin' in these chairs, looking so big.

The pancake flipper does it again...not as high this time, but still impressive.
