Salt Creek and Cousins

We had an amazing time at Salt creek with our Nelson cousins this summer. The weather was beautiful and the company was even better. The cousins played so well together and so did the adults. Mikes family has been going camping there for over 20 years every summer. It's been 7 years since we have all been there together again.  We have many fond memories of Salt creek throughout the years.
                              
Some of the memories we all remember and laughed about often are;

When Kate and Andrea tried to make the family play the "I love you because...." game. Let's just say that backfired a little bit and we have never played since.

The time dad dumped a bag of sawdust in the fire and burned off his eyebrows and lashes.

The many times Beth fell in the tide pools while trying to get a closer look at some sea life.

Every time dad tries to back up the tent trailer.

When Kayla was one and told everyone who sat in her seat that it was "my b***h"(bench)

The many times it rained and poured and we sat underneath "tent city" miserable and cranky

The many boy friends who slept in the "boy friend tent".

Karen's outdoor kitchen that put us all to shame.

When dad got the car stuck and it shot gravel into Jaime's crotch while he helped push dad out.

The times we ate dinner at 9pm because we had to wait for the dutch oven food to cook all the way.

Adventure grandpa!

The camping pillowcases mom made all the grandkids except for Kate's kids.

Late night talks at the camp fire with awesome brothers and sisters.

The raccoons opening our coolers and drinking our pop.

Riding the ferry across the Puget sound.
