The first time they saw us, they startled and ran away from us, watching us the […]

The drive from Chelan to Sandpoint afforded us plenty of beautiful country views. (Side note: we had a little drama. ‘A’ developed an infected finger and we had to detour to the ER in Spokane for treatment. He is improving…)

Our family tradition is to spend the 4th of July at my aunt and uncle’s house on Lake Chelan. We have a theme costume party based on a state.

The second night was spent visiting with my dad and stepmom. We met my dad on board their nautical joy, “Our Adventure“. The weather was nice; not too […]

With David away on business, and the Lamborns spending the day in San Francisco, the boys and I got to spend the evening with my friend, Tara, and her family. We cruised on Lake Folsom in their boat, and the kids loved swimming in the lake. The sunset was gorgeous. It was a special evening […]

Our friends, Laura and Jordan, decided to take a spontaneous roadtrip south to get away from Washington’s rain. They arrived at our place around six, and after dinner out, we hit the hot tub and pool. Artistic Jordan gave the boys a couple of art lessons, teaching them how to draw people. The boys love […]

My husband’s brother, Paul, and his girlfriend, Shannon, just returned from traveling throughout South America for five months. They are moving from Maui to San Francisco and joined us for a couple of nights. They arrived in the afternoon and we spent some time by the pool, then a delicious dinner at Lucille’s BBQ. They […]
