Deception Pass Camping

We love this state park, it is so beautiful. I actually might like it more in the winter in the rain and fog, and there were only a handful of other crazy campers. 

Like all our camping trips with small children there were moments when I wanted to cry and pull my hair out (like when our overly tired child throws a big tantrum and nothing can stop it-except maybe daddy) AND moments of pure bliss. Abi slept in the top bunk all weekend which was a first and Ben slept in the bottom bunk which is a first for him too. It just wouldn't be camping unless someone gets injuried (Abi fell down the ladder leaving a bruise down her back) and unless there are tantrums and screaming (yes-check). The scenery, fresh air, getting out of the house, hiking,
 and sitting around the campfire with good friends made up for it plus some. I think we lucked out with the weather too because it only rained a very small amount on Saturday AM. In total our group consisted of 6 adults, 4 children, and 3 dogs, therefore children and dogs outnumbered adults-ha.


Ben did a face plant in the mud. I'm such a good mom that I grabbed my camera before I grabbed a towel to clean him up :)

I want to walk, not ride.....

and I'm over it.



I assure you the bulge in my midsection is due to two pairs of gloves for the kids, my cell phone, and camera case. Cute pic none the less (although Abi refused to be in it).



Abi is in serious need of a big girl bike (has to be pink like Hailey's), but she peddled as fast as she could to keep up.














Can someone please wipe that nose! He is our little booger bear.
