Doyle Family Campout 3.0

Here are some pictures from last weekend's trip to Wenatchee Confluence State Park for the 3rd annual Doyle Family Campout. Everyone was healthy this year, and the weather cooperated (hot but not unbearable), and a good time was had by all--at least I think so. The Oly Doyles sure had fun.

Notice the breakfast of champions to start the day out right... Captain Crunch along with the 2 dozen donuts Grampy insisted we all eat!

Margaret with a nice chocolate donut - breakfast just doesn't get much better than this!


Saturday we spent most of the day at the beach, in and out of the water. We had all kinds of floatation devices, and the kids took turns making floatillas and just goofing around. The river was REALLY cold, but that was a good thing considering how hot it got. We were also able to watch the fire burning on the hillside northeast of Wenatchee up towards Chelan.
Jacob and Caroline got along great all weekend and paired up on the floaties.

After everyone was burned out at the beach, we hung around the campsite trying to beat the heat in the shade.

Caroline was able to get a great shot of Grammy Doyle, who normally doesn't like anyone to take her picture...

As usual, Brian came up with a great idea for a family activity. Squirtball!


In squirtball, the fielders all have water bottles full of water to splash on the baserunners. Technically they have to have the ball in order to splash the runner, but that rule was widely ignored and everyone pretty much squirted all the runners every chance they got. Not that anyone minded since it was SO HOT!


Dylan was especially diligent in squirting Grampy after every single pitch he tossed-it was very cute. As a matter of fact, Dylan was pretty attached to Grampy all weekend. Could it have anything to do with those chocolate donuts?
