Across the Mountains

We headed across the mountains for a camping trip on Pearrygin Lake with some great friends. We had an awesome time, doing what campers do best, like sitting back, relaxing, cooking and eating some good food, getting refreshed either in the lake or with water guns and balloons (plain ol'e buckets worked too).
We had plenty of little campers and although they don't see each other very often, they had no problems getting acquainted. How can you go wrong when you mix a bunch of boys with water toys?

The big boys did not want to miss the fun either.

It sure is a small world. We met some friends from church who were also camping there. Nolan got up early one morning and "teacher" Pete, his Sunday School teacher, took him out fishing.

It pays to rise early, look at Nolan's catch. It also helps to have a good fisherman mentor along with you.

What a blessing it was for Ethan not to need a cast. Although occasionally he felt he couldn't keep up completely with the other boys, he still was able to join the water fun. The sling dried up pretty fast in the warm & dry eastern WA weather.
