Paradise Creek, WA - camping

Our trip in June was such fun, we decided to camp with the Kellys and Foremans again! This time at the base of Mt St Helens. It was warm and dry - and fabulous!

Evenings by the campfire - charades, silly songs and s'mores!

We are pretty much the definition of camping hot.
