Fishing and Camping Fun - Lake Cle Elum

I love sunshine in Washington! Everything is so stunning.

Colt, Ev and I started the weekend off with a fun luau in Kirkland with the UWB folk. Then early Saturday, we drove up to Lake Cle Elum to have a couple days of sun, fishing and camping.

Of course the first stop was Carek's Meat Market...the boys' all-time favorite place. Unforunately, they didn't open until ten, so we went to this nearby park to kill some time.

The boys played their frisbee...I played on the big toys (duh).


I LOVE swings...


Not long after this photo...I saw a little girl running across the street as a big truck came barrelling down the road...so of course I jumped in front of the truck and saved the little girl and I ended up wounded for my heroism...um no, actually, not really...
I actually was exiting the swingset when I landed on my right ankle really bad and pulled/tore a ligament...LOVELY way to start the weekend camping trip. Ugh. I felt absolutely dreadful that I might have just ruined the trip for the boys...and couldn't believe I had gone my ENTIRE life without injury and at the ripe old age of 24, hurt myself playing on a swing. LAME!
Anyhow...we had to go to the urgent care facility (no fun on our bank account)...but I survived and I really wanted to still go fishing and camping...so the boys had to put up with limpy-mcgee for the rest of the weekend...but at least we were outside enjoying the nice weather.

Here's my battle wound. (Getting in and out of the boat was quite a chore.)
Swingset - 1. Jamie - 0.

It was still a fun weekend though.

MMM...smores will always make you feel better.

Fun in the sun.

Yummy yummy corn and Carek's polish dogs. (Whoever ran off with our hot dog buns...we are very upset with you!)

Early mornin' fishing. 5 am...ugh.
Here comes the sun.

What was I thinking? Just kidding...I still had fun.

Rally caps boys.
(Here, fishy fishy fishy. Like Evan says, "get in the boat".)

We have decided there are no fish in Lake Cle Elum, it's all an evil plot! All that fishing and we caught a tree (not just a branch, an entire tree)...seriously haha.

Cold and sleepy...but happy to be with the boys and outside.

Our little area.
Loading up.

I love the outdoors and I love my hubby.

Well, it was a fun weekend...after all was said and done. Even though I can't drive right now and I might have possibly injured myself permanently...haha. Thanks boys for letting a girl tag along. I have a feeling they will never let me play with them again haha...

Limpy McGee...out.
