Rainbow Point Camping Trip

Our camping trip with the Beglinger's, MOffatt's & Wolin's was FABULOUS! We had 8 adults and 15 kids and everyone got along. It was fantastic. Its so great to have friends who parent their kids in a similar way...I think that helps the situation. =) The kids were kind to one another and they had a blast playing together for 3 days. We camped at Rainbow Point which is right on Lake Cascade. We rented Jet ski's one day and had a boat for the weekend so we played and played and played in the water! It was perfect! A bunch of the kids learned to knee board, Jaxon & Kenna included. I was so proud of them! Its so fun to see your kids learn to do things that you use to do as a kid and to see them really enjoy it. Good times!



All 23 of us!

We had some fire lovers this trip.


The Wolins brought up their shaved ice machine and we all had snow cones one night. This was the real deal! Lisa ordered "real" flavors online and shared them with all of us. She even had Tigers Blood....my favorite!

We of course had smores one night!

There was even a marshmallow roasting contest between Jay & I. I was tired of listening to him brag about how good his roasting abilities were. I'm sure I beat him too! =)

Brock(4), Ty (2), Marc (2), Ben (2)
These guys had a blast together!

Jax & Ryan the bike riding machines!
Katy, Sarah & Kenna...were missing Grace & Ellie but all the girls had a blast together!

Gotta build a sandcastle!

Here's Jack pushing the little boys around on the floaty! Ty LOVED it!
Huddy on the jet ski with Jay. This is a big deal! He wouldn't even get near them last year!
This year he wanted to drive...of course!

Jax & Kenna ready to hit the wakes with daddy!


Daisy Duke LOVED the water...she just needs obedience class and then she will really be ready for trips like this.

Ellie, Me, Ty & Huddy on the boat


Kenna learning to knee board.
Go Kenna! Go Kenna! Go, Go, Go Kenna!

Way to go Jaxon! He was the first kid to try it and he made it look easy!
About as excited as this boy gets! He loved it!
Sara, Jay, Ty & Huddy ready for another boat ride.

Thanks B's, M's & W's for such a great weekend! Looking forward to a repeat next year!

Oh, my goodness! The whole thing looks like so much fun - the swimming, jet ski, boating, smore's, campfire, fellowship, eating...

How fun! And with great people joining you, I'm sure it was fabulous!
