Our favorite place to camp is up at Lower Falls, north of Carson, Wa. It is beautiful with so many fun things to do.  We always go up with a big group of our friends.  This year we had 40 of us up there with over 25 of them kids. Needless to say people are a bit taken aback when they wandered past our very large and busy camp.  We love being up there though and we spent our time playing in the woods, and all of us put on wet suits so we could jump off of waterfalls, slide down water slides, and drag the little ones around on rafts.  It wasn't super warm up there, and the water is freezing, but that doesn't stop us.  I discovered the magic of wetsuit booties.  They are amazing!  I am definitely investing in a pair of my own.  This year Rick and Adyson decided to jump off of a 40 ft. cliff.  I was a little nervous for them but they loved it.  We also put on The Amazing race for all of the kids with prizes and everything.  They had 12 stations all over the place and they were randomly put in groups of 2 or 3 and had to complete all 12 stations together and receive a bead for a necklace at each stop as fast as they could.  Each team had matching bandanas too. They had to do things like walk a slack line, there was a river crossing, they had to blow up balloons with blow darts and do a challenge found inside of the balloons, there was a relay race, word puzzle, riddle, and of course a station with interesting food that had to be eaten by both team members.  Some of the kids had a hard time with this one.  We all had a blast! Enjoy the funny pictures :)
