This year we went to Deception Pass for our annual camping trip. The girls loved it! They rode their bikes, played in the dirt, ate smores, slept in sleeping bags...
Deception Pass is located on Whidbey Island. It was our first time camping here and it had some pros and cons. Pros: we loved the beautiful beaches and the privacy of the campsites. There is also a lake there, so at one of the beaches you have the option to swim in the lake or the ocean. Cons: it was pretty cold, and it got quite loud because it is right next to the naval base. On our last night our tent was literally shaking as the planes buzzed by. They fly very low over the area and continued on into the wee hours of the morning. It was so loud that we felt like we should be wearing earplugs. For whatever reason, our girls slept right through the sound of the planes, but tend to wake up if one of us sneezes.
A morning spent snuggling in the tent and reading books.
Smores were a huge hit!
North Beach was beautiful! Even Karis likes throwing rocks into the ocean. She was so sweet on the trip, trying to do whatever her sisters were doing.

We drove into Coupeville one day and met these 3.
The girls loved walking down the Coupeville Wharf. Ella observed, "this is like White Rock, except the rocks here aren't white."

Karis loved playing peek-a-boo in the tent. She also started saying several more words on our trip. She now says:
hat = haaaa (her favorite word)
birdie = birdie
water = wawa
Dadda = Daddy (another one of her favorites)
Momma = Momma
Juju = shu shu
Ella = Ella
Doggie = Doggie, woo woo
ball = ball ball ball
