A surprise RV trip!

This last weekend, we took the kids on a great overnight camping trip in an RV!  Yes, an RV!  Greg came up with this idea and then we told the kids that we had a surprise for them for the weekend.  All week long they asked us about the surprise; they were dying in suspense!  We borrowed this great RV from our friends, Jeff and Renee - it had a kitchen, bath, and three separate sleeping areas.  It was so nice to be driving down the road, able to use a toilet when the kids said they had to go!

We took the RV onto the ferry and went to Whidbey Island, just north of Seattle.  We drove around the island exploring for a few hours, and then finally settled into a beautiful campsite at Fort Ebey State Park.  We went to a Farmers' market, visited a lighthouse, hiked along the shore, and walked through cute little Langley.  Then later we hiked, rode bikes, and enjoyed our own dinner cooked on the tiny stove in the RV.  Ha!

We totally recommend an RV weekend trip if you have young kids; our kids loved it!!


PBJ lunch in the RV!  We loved the fun of being in the RV - so practical to have everything right there!

"Good job on the surprise, Daddy!"

Goofy kids!

Great view of the Olympics Mountains, as seen from Whidbey
This was the beautiful sunset we saw from our campsite at Fort Ebey.  Lovely!

I love this picture of Hailey.  She was being goofy with her hair band, which made her giggle.  Caught her cute expression on camera.
Daddy made us banana pancakes in the RV!

As soon as we got to Whidbey Island, we drove to the Bayview Farmers' Market.... Charming!

Hailey stands at our campsite!  She and I explored all of these trees in the woods together.  She loves the great outdoors as much as I do!
