This past weekend we went on another camping trip - we went up to Lake Easton, which is just on the other side of the top of Snoqualmie Pass. We went with the Folgedalens and the Sandholms. Ethan and Jen also came and stayed with their friends Jay and Ellen Mirro and their 2 kids Leo and Ivan, who just happened to be camping the same weekend! Friday night was just Seth, Alistair and I. This was our first night camping alone since before we were married! Everyone else came up Saturday and we had a nice day walking along a portion of the Iron Horse trail and into the "town" of Easton. Easton is a blink and you'll miss it kind of place, even on foot! (: That night everyone converged into one campsite (11 adults, 4 kids and 2 dogs) for dinner, campfire and s'mores. This was our first time camping without a trailer available in 2 years. One thing I took away from our trailer-less trip was that we got much dirtier due to not having hot running water to wash up - especially Alistair. He got a couple of good wipe downs with baby wipes before he put on his PJ's both nights! It was a fun weekend - it is hard to believe that summer is coming to an end soon! ):
Alistair taking an early morning stroll in his penguin PJ's - we had to unsnap the bottom of the legs and pull his feet out and roll the foot portion of his pj's into the leg so he could wear his shoes!
Mmmmm - a nice warm bowl of oatmeal on a cool summer morning!
The gang taking a break on the rail bridge over Lake Easton. The Iron Horse trail is an old decommissioned railroad bed that has been turned into a trail. It starts in North Bend and right now ends in the middle of nowhere Yakima. I think the eventual goal is to groom it all the way to Idaho. There are campgrounds all along the route for those who want to backpack the entire trail.
Seth entertained Sully for a good 30 minutes on Sunday while we got things cleaned-up and packed-up. They were having a good time! (: Alistair was napping!
