We had a fun weekend with our daughters and their family's. The last hurrah of the summer!

Shawnte' had reserved us all camping spots at Gillette Lake near Colville. Karen pulled in second and we arrived late afternoon. Although we left early morning, we had too many sights to see on the way up! Shasta and her crew didn't make it until almost eleven p.m. The boys helped Owen set up the tent in the dark, while we got the kids all situated and then sat around the fire talking and eating smores.

Saturday was spent at the lake swimming, boating, fishing, and just having a wonderful time. It was awesome weather and was so much fun to watch Jayden, Cameron and Owen throw each other in the lake...as well as the other kids. The grandkids had a wonderful time.

Sunday, it was hard to say good bye, as usual. Little Kaelynn cried her heart out - not wanting to leave us. We took our time getting home as Dad wanted to drive by Eastern Washington University to show Jayden the campus. It would be wonderful if he went there. He'd be close to home, yet still independent. Ideal for ME...
