August begins with camping!

This last weekend we went camping with our friends the Gleasons. Friday started out a little hectic since we didn't have reservations anywhere, but we decided to wing it and just drive east to see what we could find. We were going to go to Lake Easton, but that plan changed when the resort we were going to stay at became fully booked at the last minute. Turns out that was a good thing since the forecast for Easton turned into high 60's with showers all weekend. We ended up in Vantage, WA where the weather was in the mid to high 80's. We had lots of fun eating, swimming in the river, hanging out, eating some more, and watching tents get blown over when the evening winds kicked up (luckily, we didn't have that problem). Next trip... Whistler, Canada!

The whole gang! Andre, Olivia, Mary, Jen, Ashley, Ashley's friend Ashly, and Jon.

Mary and Jen complete with baby boys in utero!

She is having so much fun in the tent!

She REALLY enjoyed being one with nature.

Hanging out with the big girls. She kept referring to them as "The Ashleys" all weekend.
