Visitors...A picnic @ KOA in Kent

Wednesday night we were getting ready to go camping... There was an unheard message on Greg's phone. We listened to it, and it said that Grandpa Smith was going to be in town the next day @ the KOA in Kent and that they were going to eat a dinner. Some of the cousins and a few of his nieces would be there. So, we postponed our camping trip until after the 4th... Which was a good thing because we were able to scope out our campsite instead of booking online blindly.

It was really great to get to see everyone... The dinner was great! Hamburgers grilled to perfection! Unfortunately the hot dogs were too frozen to even begin to grill... They tried to break them apart, but they were just to solid. We had pasta salad, chips and dip, salad, brownies, and few others. I think the funniest part of the whole night was when the picnic table almost tipped over on us...
There were three of us sitting on one side and one person on the other... The ground must have been somewhat uneven because when the one person got up, the whole table started to flip... I think I screamed louder than anyone (which was kind of embarrassing). We all grabbed on to the table and someone sat on the other side again... Disaster averted!
The kids had a great time playing at the park. They had a giant checkers and chess board. The boys made up their own version of the game. Of coarse Nicholas always seemed to be the winner...Occasionally he would let William knock out one of his pieces. Hailey's favorite part was swinging and playing in the dirt.
It was really great to get to know some of the cousins a little better. We plan on getting together soon. Especially, since they live a lot closer than we thought. They live right across the street from one of our favorite summer spots... Gene Coulon Beach.
William seemed to take to abby quite well...
