Nana & G Pops Camp

The last week before the kids started school my parents wanted to take my kids camping and adventuring. I was thrilled! 

I drove the kids to Wallace, WA where we met up with my parents. They were going to camp that night and then bike the Hiawatha trail the next day. 

they got the kids these cute camelbaks! 

We did a little hike all together before I took off - ALONE!

 

that evening - Bill and I went out to the Gilded Unicorn for their happy hour. It was hilarious because we ordered a TON of the happy hour options and one of the waiters mentioned that we had ordrered a lot of food. ha! He didn't realize who he was dealing with. Bill who never eats all day until dinner and me! we did just fine putting the food down. 

After leaving them - my parents took the kids to find a campground. They wanted a rustic scene with a stream. They found it! I guess it was pretty sketchy with where it was, but the kids loved it! The nights were cold - down into the 40s- so impressed they did it. 

claire being goofy!

Packing up! 

The plan was for them to bike the Hiawatha trail that day, but the smoke was so bad they couldn't see and it was raining ash. Not safe to bike 15 miles. So they changed their plans and headed to Triple Play! An indoor waterpark near Sandpoint. 

Charlie LOVES water. The kids were thrilled with this adventure! 

this cracks me up! the girls running away from the cold water. 

my dad and the girls were cold - so they just sat under the hot water showers to warm up. that is love right there - being cold is the worst! 

charlie's back is beaten up from the slides. My mom sent this to me to warn me. ha! 

the kids had the BEST time! My parents went home tired! 

My parents returned with the kids Friday night and then stayed through Charlie's soccer game on Saturday. Charlie is becoming a really good soccer player. His only issue is his endurance. It is hilarious how fast he gets tired out on the field! 

 

He was awarded the "Lock" this game by Coach Neill. The game after he was awarded the "hammer". So proud of how hard he plays! And thankful for such an encouraging coach and fun team! 

Thanks Mom & Dad for taking the time to camp and do crazy things with my kids. So thankful you can create these active memories with them!
