Oasis Camping Trip - Day 3

After relaxing at the campground for a full day we wanted to go out and explore somewhere new and go on a hike. Michael researched and found Summer Falls. It looked like it would be a fun place to go and it wasn't very far from the campground. 



Summer Falls is right next to a power paint by the same name. It had a really nice grassy area with picnic tables, but unfortunately there really weren't any hiking trails like it showed online. They've blocked those areas off most likely due to safety concerns. 




It was still gorgeous to look around though. 



According to the weather app this was going to be the nicest day. 




The water was so clear near the edges! 




We ended up seeing a turtle sunning himself on a rock. Unfortunately he jumped in when we tried to get closer. 



So long Summer Falls! 



Since it was a nice day the kids wanted to go swimming. 



They had a good time in the water. Of course we had to buy some new goggles since a couple of the old ones broke. One of the new pairs from the store ended up breaking right away, but thankfully the lady was so nice and gave us another pair for free. 




One of the things we do every time we come to Oasis is we stop at Thorp to buy a couple of these. Spring Creek Lavender Farm in Ellenburg makes Sparkling Lavender Lemonade & Sparkling Hibiscus Lemonade with a hint of Lavender and it is one of the best things you'll ever taste. They are $4 a bottle, but they are worth it!



Something new that I tried this camping trip was using those Keebler Fudge Stripe cookies instead of graham crackers for smores. My cousin Melody introduced me to these and oh my goodness...they were so yummy! And no the cookie is not on fire it was just a happy accident that ended up making for a cool looking picture! :)
