Cascade Park

We decided to go camping at Cascade Park;

church property that is located only

20 minutes from our home now!

 

Annaliese, Natalie, Sheldon

Nathan, Evan & Aaron

We lucked out with beautiful weather,

and a big area in the woods with shade; Hinckley campsite,

with a picnic table and room for 2 tents!

 

We stayed 2 nights

And went on the slip n slide! =)

 

Evan

 

And had fun in the river!
(the river water doesn't feel as COLD when it's in the 90's!

 

Natalie, & Nathan (still in a cast =(  but with a thumbs up =) & Annaliese

We were finally able to get Nathan in the innertube,

and then he didn't want to get out!

Sheldon coerced me out to the rock --

good thing Natalie took a picture to prove it =)

 Archery does NOT like me

(my left arm became extremely bruised from the bow string =(

But the two boys LOVE it!

 Evan

 

And we see some natural talent =)

It was a great 'wrapping up the summer' trip for our family!
