Lake Sylvia camping trip

This year Corom and I thought that it would be fun to try out new camping spots. I found a place called Lake Sylvia. It is fairly close to Olympia but over towards the coast and thought that it might be fun. Sure enough it was! We went with some good friends of ares who have kids the same ages.

Here is Malik trying out fly fishing for the first time. Corom was very impressed at how well he was!

Malik and Bennett could not get enough of the rocks!


Zia's first experience with the canoe (before the trip) was not good. But after new life jacket that fit her she was good to go. She would get so mad every time she would see Bennett put her life jacket on!



We were all TOTALLY disappointed when we saw that there were "NO FIRES", but in fine print it said that briquets were OK!

So 32 lbs of briquets later we ended up with a nice "fire". It worked perfect and we didn't brake any laws! He he hee!

On the last day Zia and Bennett had a nice little nap together in the hammock!
Malik had his in the car. Perfect end to our perfect trip!

Too funny, you drove within 2 minutes of where I grew up in Central Park just outside of Aberdeen. And I have NEVER been to Lake Sylvia! =)
