I have nothing to say… I can say a whole lot about nothing

To view the album, just click on it. I’ll post more photos later… I took way more than I thought I did. That’s the joy of using 2GB cards. I posted another photo slideshow over on the photoblog too… link is in my sidebar.
Yesterday was our 27th wedding anniversary. DH came home from work early and we took off to the city.
We walked along the beach in West Seattle and landed ourselves on a park bench. It’s the middle of Seafair in Seattle. Three small planes (not the blue angels) were practicing for their air show during the hydroplane races. Here’s are a couple of sights we don’t see everyday.
The street life in Ballard is always fun.
We went to Golden Gardens to walk on the sandy beach. The park was packed as usual. But it was worth the wait to find parking. The sand was warm and so soft between my toes. I love walking barefoot in the sand!
I couldn’t resist taking a photo of these children. They were having a good time building sand castles in the water’s edge.
The end of a perfect day…
I can’t figure out how to get the slide shows to work with this wordpress blog so I’m just going to send you over to my photo blog to view the slide show of the Memorial Day Church camp.
Camp was so much fun! The weather was beautiful. It has snowed on us in previous years. Camping in the snow! Oh my goodness it has been cold up there. Not this year, just beautiful and sunny during the day. It is cold at night though. The camp is in Eastern Washington up near the Canadian border way up in the hills. The grounds are beautiful even if the cabins are getting old.
Oh I know, when you see the bunks we slept in you’ll probably be grossed out, but it’s not that bad. Really, it’s not LOL! I always spray them down and then I put down a plastic sheet between my bedding and the mattress. Anywho… there is a kitchen and hot showers! We are roughing it, but not completely. It is luxury compared to the old camp!
Where we use to camp there was an old outhouse building around a pot covering a mile deep pit. No hot water, really, the water was from a creek with mountain water. Brrrr. YUK. It was miserable camping with little kids and I had six little ones.
I wasn’t the only one with a bunch of little kids. I’m just the one that complained the loudest I think. I laugh now, but I cried at the time. It rained every year and everything we owned was wet by the second day. Me and the kids were always wet and freezing cold. To this day I think that is my mom’s favorite camp ground. Of course she was camped in a cozy trailer and the last couple years up there she was in a motor home. Maybe that was the difference. I just know I dreaded the Memorial weekend campout back then.
Oh how things have changed. I love the new camp grounds. I think they’ve been camping at the ‘new’ grounds for about 10 years.
I have several hundred photos… *friends ‘n family* If you want a CD call or email me and I’ll ship one right out to you.
Be sure to check the slideshow on the photoblog page!
I have uploaded a few photos of our cruise and for convenience sake I’ve added the slideshow to a page with a few of my other slideshows. If you have dial-up I apologize in advance because it will be slow loading.
