We spent two nights at the KOA Campground in Leavenworth. This KOA is great for families because it is secure and safe. Our site was by a big, grassy field, and the kids were able to run all they wanted. Here is ‘A’ and ‘R’ playing in the sprinkler… We played along the river. Here […]

Every year, we spend the 4th on July at Lake Chelan. My aunt and uncle host a family celebration. We have one night that is a theme night based on a state. This was our fifth year, and the state was California. We dress in costume and the evening menu is related as well. Since […]

Every year, our friends Mike and Carol host a BBQ at their cabin in Cle Elum. We had about 10 families attend. The weather was cooler than I anticipated and ended up wearing a hoodie most of the time! Still, the kids had a great time playing in the river. We indulged in a terrific […]

Well, let me tell you… On Saturday, DH and ‘R’ worked in the yard, while ‘A’ and tackled the house. We worked for about six hours! The boys and I made a butterfly mobile for Ant-e Sara. (Note to self: don’t ever do a craft that requires shaving crayons again. However, if you absolutely have […]

(Did you miss me? Did you wonder where I was? :)) Even though we were only one week into our Sonlight curriculum, it was time for a break. We went with some friends of ours to Ocean Shores for three nights, four days. The weather was perfect! Both families rented condos at the same property […]

Saturday, we drove up to Everett to visit Grandpa Al. I am embarrassed to admit that we had not celebrated Christmas yet with him, so we had a belated holiday! We had a very nice visit and even got to cheer on the horses in the Kentucky Derby! Here we are at a great little […]

‘R’ stayed home with Daddy, but ‘A’ and I joined my Dad and stepmom, brother and nieces for the Spring Fair in Puyallup. I love attending this fair! It has all the same elements of the big one in September, but it is half the size and much more manageable. We all had a great […]
