We headed out of town for the weekend. Our destination was Lake Kachess, but we had no luck finding a campsite. We drove on, braving a long gravel road and a low gas tank. What we found at the end was a dream, Taquala Lake. We found a huge campsite along the lake with views of the nearby mountain peaks. The wild flowers were in bloom. We enjoyed the company of our friends and the kids managed a four mile round trip hike. Most of us could only manage to dip our toes into the icy cold lakes and creeks, but a couple were brave and took a swim. We can't wait for our next camping trip!
This is the second year in a row that Audrey & Landry have attended Zoo Camp together. Landry said, "Can we do this every year?" Yes, you can!
There is a sudden interest (fear) of spiders in the house recently. So, we've been learning about how helpful spiders can be by eating other bugs and how they build their beautiful webs. Hopefully, this will help us feel like spiders can be our friends.
This weekend, we walked in the Wallingford Kiddie Parade. This year, we had the honor of carrying our school's banner. It was a perfect summer day. We handed out pinwheels and candy. Rode some ponies and finished it off with some ice cream. For more pictures from the parade, check out the Wallyhood Blog.
