Well, it was summertime and once again, we headed to central Washington for the big Bank's Lake Camping trip. For Ben, it was his 9th consecutive year, but it was little Parker's very first camping trip! Luckily, the weather cooled down from the previous week (high of 106!!!) to a pleasant upper-70s, lower-80s. We had a great time and Parker did very well. Safe to say she was totally set up with gear (her own pack-n-play with MP3 player!!!). She got to meet lots of our friends and even Grampa Mike came over from Moses Lake to see us.

Ralph had a great time too!'He smells just like light beer & potatoes!'
It was the first time in a long time that all original 'cast members' from the 1999 trip all got to be there at the same time. We commemorated the occasion with the traditional 'Banks Lake Salute' that has become a time-honored tradition over the years.(from left to right: James Howe, Seamus Dolan, Chris Cook,
Suzanne (Crawford) Burgoyne, Jim Benoit, & Ben Lysen & Ralphie!)
