Camping at Lower Lewis River Falls

We went camping at the Lower Lewis River Falls. It was absolutely beautiful! The kids love to camp and always have a great time when we go with their cousins. The campground is right next to the falls so we were able to go for a little walk and see the waterfall after we got the tents set up. The kids also went wading. It was a little scary for me to have them in the water because the river is only accessible from on top of the falls. In the river there was one big rock that had huge cuts out of it from the water rushing by. But we were able to find a good little spot that seemed to be cut off from the rest of the river because the water was low.

We forgot the spatula so Andy used a putty knife to cook.
Scott is so handsome!

Bethany ended up getting sick the next morning so Andy and I took her and Sam home early. Timmy cried because he wanted to stay there forever! So Grandpa and Grandma Lay let my other kids stay and play for a while. What great Grandparents they have!

That would be a fun place to camp. I'm sorry Bethany got sick.
