RV Trip Day 2 - Metaline Falls - Happy 4th!

Next stop after leaving Twisp and continuing on the North Cascades was Republic for lunch and a little stroll through town, in the mid-afternoon we pulled into Metaline Falls and stopped at Box Canyon for a little swimming time!
Nana, Lucy and Troy exploring the lake
Dad and Lucy swimming
Jaydon and I swam to the raft (rather I swam and Jaydon held on around my neck)
He is getting to be much more adventurous in the water and having more fun.  He is still not a swimmer yet but I think we are ready for some more lessons!
Our swim back from the raft!

The 3rd was Adrian's birthday and they forgot the pinata so we got to help celebrate!
The kids had a great time whacking at the ninja turtle.
Lucy was not to be left out!


Enjoying some sparklers and a little firework display out front


Grandpa Pete has a workout room/dojo for all his martial arts stuff and the kids had a great time playing around with it all!


"hiya"


On the way out of town we stopped at Boundary Dam and Gardner Caves.  Unfortunately we were a little off timing to catch the tours and Lucy fell asleep so Grandpa, Nana, Dad and Jaydon went for the nature hike to Canada - yep we had an international vacation!
Lucy of course soon woke up and she and I walked around the trail a bit but didn't make it nearly as far as the rest of the family.

We look forward to another visit in a couple years when the kids are old enough to really enjoy the tours of both the caves and the dam.
