Camping

We went camping at Fort Casey and Camano Island in Washington State. We had a great time even if the weather was a little rainy and cold. We started out at Fort Casey, which is on Whidbey Island, with Mo, Carr and Kari Ann. It was very nice and relaxing until we started playing cover your assets! It was a lot of fun. Then the fighter jets started their touch and goes at about 9:15 pm and did not stop until midnight. They rattled your bones they were so close. Whidbey has a navel air station on it and that is why we were so close to everything. "Its the sound of freedom" so we don't complain. I would suppose the residents get use to it and have lots of ear plugs!

One afternoon Uncle Carr bet the girls one dollar that they could not hula hoop around the camp loop. Mo was up and going. They did it. It was a lot of fun and the whole campground was looking at them.

We also took a ferry boat ride to Port Townsend. It was a beautiful day, we went in little shops to look and then bought ice cream cones! Yummy!

We left Fort Casey on Wednesday and headed for Camano Island.

The some of the family were already there, and some came later in the week. Eli, Emilee and Ivy came on Wednesday. We had a great time with everyone. We took a family picture and a group shot and I will post it as soon as I get it. There were probably 35 people there. And several dogs. We had 3 in our group alone. It was a lot of fun and yummy. We had fresh crab every day. I love crab. Ivy even touched the crab! I just ate it. I think Jim had some and so did Aly.

This is Emilee, Eli and Ivy, me pepper and my nephew Andrew. It was very cold and windy on this first day but the other days it was beautiful.

We will also be camping in August. I love camping!
