Annual Camping Trip

I love traditions and Matt and I have not really created a whole lot of our own.  This year for Memorial Day, we decided to have a big family camp out and start an annual family fishing derby.  We made reservations, divided up the meals, pitched some tents and despite technical difficulties, we had a lovely time cooking over the fire, taking walks and playing games.  

We stayed at Lake Wenatchee State Park, just outside of Leavenworth.  It was a beautiful weekend.  No rain, lots of sun, wonderful scenery and lots of fish caught!
  

Matt's family, my family and the Gagnons were all there (13 humans, 5 dogs, and many a dead fish).  We made trips into Leavenworth and Plain, WA.  You can't miss Shocolate in Leavenworth!  Delicious!



The derby was won by Abby who caught a 4 lb. 1 oz. Rainbow Trout from the dock!  All the rest of us caught maybe one-pounders and we were out in the boat in the deep, cool waters.  
We are looking forward to next year!
