We slept late this morning and woke up just in time to say goodbye to Liz, who was on her way to Camp Invention, a summer day camp. When Dawn returned from dropping Liz off, she and Andy made us a hearty breakfast of eggs and sausage. Just after breakfast, we met Andy's sister-in-law when she stopped by to have Andy sign some papers.
After that, we spent some time outside, enjoying the nice weather, sitting out by the fish pond. Eventually we decided we had to be on our way, so we said our thank yous and goodbyes, and hit the road.
Along the way we passed a Burgerville, a regional fast-food joint that Andy and Dawn suggested if we were in the mood for another hamburger. (Unfortunately, we didn't have time to stop.) What caught our eye was their sign for "Oregon Strawberry Shakes". Doesn't that sound a lot better than just "Strawberry Shakes"?
The drive up to Olympia Campground was uneventful, except for an unexpected construction delay just before we got there. The campground was nice with lots of trees, although our Kabin was a little too close to the road for our liking.
We went for a short hike to collect some kindling for our campfire, then the kids played on a very old teeter-totter and swing set. We got the campfire going (with more than a little difficulty), and Sherry made us some delicious tacos. Then we roasted marshmallows and made s'mores!
As we hit the sack, we read a couple scary stories. The first was "Widdershins" about a boy who conjures up the Devil in the shape of a black dog. David said it wasn't that scary, and Charlie fell asleep in the middle of it! The second was "A Face in the Dark" about a man who meets people with no faces. Again, David said it wasn't that scary, but it spooked Sherry and me!
