Orcas Island Camping part 2 (of 2) (FInally!)

Ugh! Sorry this took me so long to post!One of the things I love most about the islands is that most of the stores are local owned and carry organic and/or natural products.
I had to take a picture of the clothes trail the kids left on their way down to the water. Too funny!Trust me, it was just as cold as it looks! The G6 daddy, David, decided to have a little contest. Whoever dunked their heads in the water got to have 3 smores for dessert! It was sooooo on! Here is a picture of Isa just before she dunked.

And, here she is after! They were freezing, but they wanted those smores more than anything!

The older siblings tried to encourage the little ones to give it a try. They went out for a bit, but quickly came and found the Mommy's and the towels!

After everyone dried off it was time to have a little snack and get ready for fishing!

Dao, brought enough gear for everyone. Apparently people on the dock thought he was a local giving kids lessons. They even tried to get their kids to line up to have a turn. One little girl got mad and said, "Hey, it's my turn next!". All we could do was laugh, and try to explain that these are all our kids.
Isa and Kaylin waiting for a bite. (Notice that Payton still has the bag of carmel popcorn in her hand? I think she ate the entire bag!)

After helping the kids get set up, Dao finally had a turn to fish...
This is what he caught. He was the only one to catch anything, so he gave it to another family on the dock that was fishing.

The ferry ride home was beautiful!!!
And very windy!!!


It was not a direct route, so we stopped at some of the other islands on our way back to Anacortes. There was a bald Eagle in one of the trees, so I had to take a pic.
We had such an amazing time camping as a family with the G6 family!
Thanks G6 family, we can't wait to do it again with you next year!!
