We re-started a Gowey family tradition this weekend, returning to the Chatter Creek campground for the first time since our last trip in 1994. It was a great time.
Levi & I brought our mountain bikes & got in a ride at Freund Canyon near Leavenworth. The view below was our reward after a long, hot climb.

All mothers, you'll be happy to hear that we did not ride this ramp!
Carrying on the tradition from previous years, lots of frisbee golf was played.
Icicle River, just a short walk from camp.
A very cool dome-shaped spider web.
Boo & me on the river.
On our hike along the river, we came across a Cairn City!
And of course had to add our own.
The boys took a dip in the cold river--here's Levi jumping in.
Yum!
There was even a boat race on the creek--here's the S.S. Treetop entry.
Kayla & Sara waiting for the races to start.
Gowey clan--almost everyone!

I think it's so cool that you and the family do a lot together...
You do do a lot with your family, don't you? And outdoors? WOW, you must be in really great shape to Mountain bike and hike like you do! ;)
I am lucky enough that almost all of the entire Gowey family lives in Western Washington & we all grew up in the sheltering love of our large family (there's 16 cousins!). Since the passing of our matriarch last fall, we have made a conscious effort to continue our gatherings & outings as an entire family, something for which I am very glad.
Jenny: You're so sweet! We do a lot of outdoorsy stuff, but I still wish I was in better shape!
It looks like you had a lot of fun. I like the spiderweb pictures
BTW, I went to a wine tasting on Wednesday night and it was all wine from Chatter Creek- It made me think of you.
