Camping at Kitsap

For a week in July, we headed out to Kitsap Memorial State Park, west of Seattle across Puget Sound, to do a week of camping. This was a beautiful little park that was very clean and quiet and perfect for our family. As we don't own a trailer and weren't crazy about tenting with 3 kids, we rented cabins. They had bunk beds, a futon, a table and a fridge. They overlooked a large open field with a park on the other side. As we were there during the week, it was not busy and we often felt like we were the only ones there. We had a fantastic week of enjoying the outdoors, seeing new places, watching our kids play and explore and relaxing by the fire.

The kids spent hours playing in the rocks at the park.

Jocelyn was a great little camper. She had mastered sitting a few weeks ago but had not figured out how to crawl yet. This meant that we could put her on a blanket with her bucket of toys and she was a happy as a clam!

We spent an afternoon exploring the little town of Port Gamble.

Jocelyn managed to get a clover stuck to her cheek.
