Belfair State Park


Camp Taylor

To say we were packed in would be an understatement.



Although Dale & I both Agreed we did pack light. But really after, food, sleeping bags, air mattresses, and a tent. Really there isn't room for much else.

We Spent the first night at Belfair State Park in Washington. That is in the hood Canal (in case anyone cares). It was a nice little park and our first night the temperature was above 30degrees C .

We set up camp, Had dinner, and then walked down to the water. We played a little but everyone was ready for bed, had we known the temperature that was to come in Oregon we would have played ALL night.

It took me about 2 min to get over Tirzah being disgustingly filthy dirty all the time. I did bath her at night but that really only took off the top layer.

I was most worried about Tirzah sleeping at night, mostly that a) she wouldn't and b) it would be a 6am wake up call when she finally did. but She went to bed perfectly every night, way better than the others. And when she cried I grabbed her and slipped her between Dale & I, and she slept every morning until at least 8am. A little bit of heaven.

Then next morning we packed up & rolled out of there headed to the Coast!!!

But not before Mahlon said good bye to all his new friends.

You got to love the picture of Keiza and Mahlon together. Something for the scrapbook when during their teenage years they will want to kill each other----remember when will resurface. I marvel at all the crap theat needs to be taken when going anywhere that is more than a few miles/kms from home.

I'm so glad Dale was able to rescue your pictures. He's such a great husband.

What a super sweet picture of Mahlon and Kezia, you'll have to blow it up and post it on your fridge so when they are fighting with one another you can look at the pic and be wisked away to happier times.

Next time I hope you take the Courts with you!
