We've gone camping with my uncle's family at Priest Lake for a couple of years. This year, it worked out better for us to just go up for a day. It's 2 1/2 hours both ways, but we managed to be there for around 7 hours. My boys love the lake, so they spent most of their time in the water. They jumped off the dock, floated on inflatables, and played trac-ball.
My aunt prepared a wonderful dinner of quesadillas and soup. She mixed up a filling of canned chicken, cheese, and black beans, and scooped it onto a flour tortilla. Placed a second tortilla on top, and pan fried both sides in butter. We weren't allowed to make a fire due to the burn ban, and it got pretty chilly after the sun went down. The soup was from a dry mix, but after adding cheese, it was pretty good and very welcome for helping to help curb the chill. My uncle made his 4-ingredient ice cream, and we had s'mores over a propane burner. We contributed sliced strawberries and bananas for a twist on the traditional combo, something I'd been wanting to try ever since seeing the idea online. I liked the strawberries better - tasted like a chocolate covered strawberry. You can also skip the chocolate and just do the graham cracker, marshmallow and fruit.

I have really enjoyed your family visiting posts and your family vacations! Looks like you all had a wonderful summer....and I have to add you look beautiful! Are you feeling better? You just have a glow!
Aww, thanks Katrina!! You're far too kind! I've been struggling recently with some flare ups, but I've felt pretty good most of the summer. I expect I'll be back to normal soon. :)
