1. unexpected rain showers
2. dirt floors
3. strange camping neighbors that tried to pawn off their kids on us
4. uncomfortable beds
5. lack of showers
6. dirt, dirt and more dirt
We are getting wiser in our older years and decided to spring for a cabin in Mossyrock, Washington this year...So worth it! We still got the occasional bug bite and sunburn, but we could come inside and take a nice shower, eat from a clean fully loaded kitchen and retire for the night on a comfy pillow top mattress and clean sheets. And we got all this without giving up a little dirt (it stayed outside), smores, junk food and most importantly...good friends and good conversation!
Enjoying yummy ice cream after playing all day in the lake.

One day we made the long drive to see the historical Mt. St. Helens. Very...(here it is again, Jen)...Awesome!
Max was AWOL for the group picture, so here he is.
Jaykob turned 9 while we were there. Mary and Rachael made him some cupcakes and he got a rocket which we had fun launching at the local high school football field.
Clara thoroughly enjoyed the cupcakes! YUM!

What a great tradition with (sounds like) such great people!
You're going from camping (in a cabin) with them to camping with us! See you Sunday for the Heder reunion!
I think the cabin sounds like a great, great idea. It looks like a great time and lots of fun, minus the weird camping neighbors.
Rache, this post made my day. This trip was insanely fun and relaxing. It was...what's the word I'm looking for?...oh yeah...AWESOME!! (Thanks for ratting me out on my lame vocab, by the way.) Seriously, though, we just soaked up you guys, and miss you already. Thank you for all the planning and giving up a weekend to spend with us. Like I've always said, you guys are like family, only better, because you're NOT! I pity everyone who's not friends with the Shorts--we are so lucky. :)
