Wasa Lake

We spent the week camping with Scott's family in Wasa. As you can see from the above picture there are a lot of us! Scott used to go there every summer while growing up, so he and his siblings were really looking forward to taking their kids there. We had all kinds of weather, from hail and rain to really warm sunshine. We spent some time at the beach, and we went to a historical fort town for a day. It was really fun. But by the time the week was over, I was really glad to go home and take a shower. A week of tenting it is a long time!

Before... and After. The water was occasionally running off the tarp, we knew it would inevitably land on Kael. Sure enough, right down his neck! He was surprised, but didn't even really cry. Although it was wet our first day their, at least it wasn't too cold.

The second day we were there was so nice. But it was deceiving. One minute we were at the beach enjoying the sun. We saw some clouds in the distance and decided to pack up and head back to camp, just in case. Just as we pulled into our campsite the rain started. The hail came not long after that. It seriously POURED! When we came back to camp we noticed the tarp had blown off our tent, so Scott and I were busy trying to secure it in our swimsuits with rain and hail pelting our backs. In a matter of minutes the campsite was covered with rivers and lakes. If you look closely at the picture you can see the marble sized hail and the rivers of water. What an adventure!

Kael is so easy to please at this age. Give him a truck or a puddle and he will be happy for hours!

He really is happy... I think.

This was at Fort Steele. We got to ride a train. Kael slept through the train ride so we made it up to him by letting him ride the little horse while the rest of the kids made old fashioned ice cream.
