La Wis Wis

We spent the weekend at La Wis Wis Campground, located in the lovely Gifford Pinchot National Forest, right next door to Mount Rainier National Park. It was an absolutely beautiful place, and unfortunately, it rained all weekend, but we still managed to have a great time.  
All the kids as we started our walk down to the Blue Hole.

The Miller's, minus Doug

The Diener's

The Heitzmann's

The Burbank's

Climbing the big drift log

Beautiful Maddy - the only one willing to pose for a picture.

Looking toward the "Blue Hole"

Favorite past time - filling pockets with rocks and throwing them in the river.

Some sort of Goldfinch - only with a red head!

Ours and the Heitzmann's camp site

The Miller's and Diener's site - where we spent campfire time - Randy and Scott MacGyvered the tarp over the fire.

The hike up to Purcell Falls

Not much of a falls, but still beautiful.
We need to come back to this place again sometime when it's not raining. There was so much to do, and so many places to explore - However, it was a great time, as usual, hanging with our friends.
