To celebrate Independence Day we camped with my sisters for the long weekend. We went to Salmon La Sac outside of Cle Elum where we camped several times as a family growing up. It was fun to go back and reminisce and we couldn't have asked for better weather. It was perfect!
The pictures are in random order and there are a lot of them so bear with me.
One of our favorite things to do while camping is to explore forest roads and old logging roads. This particular drive is one we won't forget, we had our first ever flat tire while out exploring. Thankfully we were able to find a flat piece of ground which just happened to be at a gorgeous outlook overlooking one of the lakes in the area. Camera fail. No picture of the view. Only of the tire and the kids who slept through the entire ordeal. Worn out! On our way back to the campsite we were stopped by a man wondering if we had seen a male walking along the river anywhere. This man and gone rafting with a friend and their raft capsized. We drove around a bit trying to help out, but sadly rescuers found his friend in the river the next morning. A HUGE reminder to be safe in and around water, be aware of waters effected by flooding and to ALWAYS wear a life jacket. The man whom we met and who survived was wearing a life jacket, where his friend who was not, did not survive. So please be smart. :) But enough of that downer. Enjoy the cute kids.
