| Wipeout! Daddy flips out whenever Grandpa Bo insists on driving the boat. |
Upholding 31 years of family tradition, the Hamiltons made
our annual trek to Banks Lake (link) last month.
The only problem to solve:
Which wheels could get us to eastern Washington? Lena is still banned from riding in the Jeep
Wrangler when the soft top is down, per Mommy.
And the Camry has seen better days.
On our way out of town, we gave in and rented a car at the airport.

Dusk beat us to Coulee City.
My parents stayed awake long enough to make sure that we made it to the
campground safely. They were both
excited to see Lena!
Rather than setting up our tent in the dark, we spent the
first night in my parents’ RV. A
pregnant Mommy was tuckered out from the long drive. Lena, on the other hand, wouldn’t take “bed”
for an answer.
**********
The next morning, commotion in the RV eliminated our chances of sleeping
in. This is how Daddy and Lena look
first thing in the morning:
After setting up our tent, we untied the boat and jetted out onto Banks Lake!

Not to worry, the best tubing action pics are coming to BlogSpot next week!
Mike and Summer were making the drive over to Coulee City from
Vancouver, WA as we played on the boat.
Later that afternoon, our Banks Lake family gathering would be
complete. Our good times were about to
get even better!
Coming next weekend on Garth’s Blog…
