In mid August we took a little family trip for the weekend over to Lake Chelan in eastern Washington. Neither of us had ever been there so we were excited to see what it had to offer and get away as a family.
August 19th
Our first day we actually had dentist appointments that morning, so after our appointments we started our drive over to the lake. We got there around 2pm, checked into our hotel and headed to the beach! We found a nice little spot to hang out and set up camp. Bret and I took turns staying with Connor and the other one of us would spend time playing with Cameron.

Cameron playing int he sand. I tried so hard to build a sandcastle with him but he liked destroying them more than building them! We did manage to get a small one build, but it only lasted a moment.
Me and Cameron playing in the sand.
My cutie little guy with his stylin' sunglasses!
Me and Cameron playing in the lake. He was a little apprehensive at first but I coaxed him in finally and then we had a blast.
Cameron LOVES to splash! So he did a whole lot of splashing.
Cameron walking back to the car with his sand toys all wrapped up in his towel. I just thought it was so cute I had to snap a pic!
At night it got pretty windy and when the wind would blow in just the right direction to get Connor in the face he would make the funniest faces! I think it scared him but after he would let out a little giggle. So here is one of those faces:)
We found a place that evening that had gocarts so Cameron and Bret went for a little drive. Cameron was in absolute car heaven! August 20th
The 20th was our 5th anniversary. I cant believe how fast these 5 years have gone, they are flying by. Its been 7 1/2 years since we first started dating which is even weirder! I am so thankful I married Bret, we are so happy and love every second of our time together and with our two boys.
On our second day there we rented a boat for a few hours. Cameron had ridden in a boat once at one of our mutual activites and he absolutly loved it. So we figured Cameron would have a lot of fun and so would we. Im so glad we did this, it was a real highlight of our trip.
Connor had to wear a life jacket and this was the smallest one they had. It was bigger than he was! I felt so bad for him, but safety first! :)
Cameron driving the boat!
Cameron didnt sleep so well the first night in the hotel room, so he was exhausted Im sure. I think the movement of the boat kinda rocked him to sleep. We were cruising along and we noticed he was starting to nod off and all of a sudden he was out. Connor was sleeping too so Bret and I just cruised around the lake and gave ourselves a nice quiet tour.
Cameron and Bret on the boat, they look so happy, dont they?
Me and Connor on the boat. While we were stopped we gave him a break from that life jacket. He enjoyed his momentary freedom.
Connor on the boat. We stopped for a while and just floated so while we did that I took him out of that monstrous life jacket and set him in his car seat and played with him. I figured it was a nice break!
Round two of the go carts lol. He had a blast riding them, it was Mommys turn this time!

Cameron playing in the kiddy pool, he must have gone down that slide a million times. 
Me and Cameron going down the a waterslide together.
After the waterpark we went to dinner and then stopped in at a local ice cream joint to get some yummy dessert. It was scrumpcious! As you can see Cameron really enjoyed it!
