Summer Odyssey 2011 - On to the Great Pacific Northwest

After leaving the tri-cities, we drove over the mountains and met the rest of the family at Lake Easton State Park for a Breckon Family Reunion weekend. The weather was dry, the campground was nice, and we had no obligations except for catching up and roasting marshmallows. There is something about camping that forces relaxation (well, unless you're chasing a toddler, but still) and fosters conversation. I'm so glad that everyone could take the time to spend the weekend together - we missed you, Tammy!

Love all these wonderful people!

The kids and I made a sign to welcome everyone.

Haley quickly took over the dog-walking duties.

After lunch the last day, Grandma Ann had a scavenger hunt ready for the grand kids.

Haley wants to be an artist when she grows up too...

Spritz, spritz, Nick!
