Mitchell Creek Camping

Last weekend we took the boat up lake to Mitchell Creek to camp.  There is a dock with several campsites alongside a creek that is running into the lake.  We didn't have the best weather, but we had fun hanging out at camp!  Heading up was pretty windy, and there were lots of logs on the lake, so we had to be careful!

Watching the sunset after setting up our tent.

Chips and smores, yum!

Tristan and this hatchet are camping buddies.  He was hoping that this picture showed off his muscles.....uh huh....

"Look at this piece of wood I chopped off, Mom!"  I was focusing more on the leg he was ABOUT to chop off!  Yikes!  (He came home completely unharmed from all his hatcheting!)

Playing in dirt all day is just what Owen loves!


A sort of cool day with cold water....is he going to jump in?

He did it!   hhahaah

Our camp was under this GREAT tree!  Everyone had a turn climbing it!



Heading out to go fishing!

Cleaning the 5 silver salmon that they caught!  


Wade was "too little" to catch any fish, but I guess he was big enough to hold one!

Cooking them up!  They were delish!!

Owen likes fish apparently!  Now he's onto the tuna!

One of the boats that was docked by ours had some tunes going, so the boys had to bust a move!

A hike up the river to a cool cave!

View from the top!  Do you see our tent down there?

We had a great trip!  There are lots more camping sites all the way up the lake.  I can't wait to try another spot!  :)
