The Lake Wenatchee Excursion

(: I'm writting this as i think, so i'm kinda jumping around :)

Camping at Lake Wenatchee was a blast. The first day the mozzies were so bad i was about to scratch my sun tan off. But the days to follow were much nicer. On the second day in the afternoon wind picked up on the lake. It was a consist 30 mph all day and night. But did that stop us hearty Harborites from swimming? NEVER!

We stayed from Monday afternoon till Friday morning. The group consisted of Backholms, Micheners, and Napiers. I must say, that group was so much fun. Just the right mix of sarcasm and true humor. =) Every night all of the kids (from 11 - 30) went down to the lake and sat on logs while we watched the stars. I think that was my favorite part of the day. The Micheners brought home-made ice cream, which we mixed on the beach. It was out of the ballpark. On Thursday morning it was really cold and windy (meaning 50ish). But after we gave up in volleyball in that wind, i wanted to go swimming. It was about 10am. That was almost the coldest swim I've ever had. Brr! No one else would come in, but finally Shawn came in. Then i had to almost drag Piper into the water. It took about 10min of convincing her. But she did it! =) Then Hutt came into the water and said it wasn't cold at all. Which is 100% a lie! The picture of the peanut can. A chipmunk actually chewed through that. I think some of those chipmunks were on steroids. :P

Almost every day we took out the rafts and floated out to this little island. We usually never set foot on the island, the fun part was the ride. Pushing people off rafts is just a kick. Except when you grab (SOMEONE) and they fling you in instead...multiple times. ;P Shawn dropped by Wednesday for the night and was planning to go home Thursday late afternoon, but he was so nice and made it possible for Hutt, Racer, and Piper to stay one more night. =) The Napiers were leaving Thursday, and they did, they just left three kids thanks to Shawn and my Dad. On Friday morning, Shawn woke us up and we were on the road by 0545 hrs. He had to be at work by 0011 hrs or so. Most of the way home was filled with music, and also paintball conversation; which is always fun.

"Whats with the picture of Racer and Wyatt covered in mud?" you are probably asking. We just decided to cover our selves in mud. Simple, no?

Jase got punched in the nose by his brother Brian on accident. Hence the bloody hand and face

And I'm not really sure what the Otis Man is doing over the fire.

All together it was an awesome trip. And is going to need a sequel. =) HA!
