Family Camping - More Leavenworth

Here are a couple of group photo of us in Leavenworth. Chris took this one from across the street. We always have fun with B & K and the boys just love them as little siblings. Every time they talk about wanting a little sister or brother, I just remind them they have B & K to play with any time they want.

A very nice man took this picture of all of us. B was not too thrilled about the picture and refused to turn around. Oh well, it's a good picture of the rest of us.


Family Camping - Leavenworth

We went into Leavenworth with Uncle Kevin and Aunt Kelli and B & K. We had lots of fun looking around the shops and eating ice cream. There is a hill that our boys love to roll down each time we go to Leavenworth and we introduced B & K to the hill. B loved it just as much as the boys.

Here's the 3 of them rolling down the hill.
B & Kevin running into each other. They just kept going on top of each other and down the hill. When they got to the bottom they both grinned.
K did not want to roll, she just watched. Isn't she too cute.

Family Camping - The Lake

If you're a family member and reading this you will know I'm the last to blog about the trip. It's that darn Facebook thing.

Anyway, earlier this month we went on a family camping trip that included a great-grandma, aunts, uncles and cousins. The boys had a blast. We had 6 sites and up to 35 people during our largest night. Part of the fun was playing in Lake Wenatchee. The lake was not super cold, in fact it had some warm areas and it was pretty shallow for about 70 feet or so. Uncle Craig and Pat found a rather large log and the boys (cousins) took turns climbing on top. They had so much fun.

Here is Kevin on the log.
Here is Kyle. Just as he stood up, the guys on the ends started to rotate it to see if Kyle could move his feet fast enough to stay on.

Mariner's Game

On August 2nd we went to a Mariner's Game. A friend of ours has season tickets and we bought her tickets for Saturday's game. We were lucky as Saturday was Season Ticket Holder Appreciation Night so we were able to go in early and watch the players warm up. Both Kyle and Kevin each were able to catch a batting practice ball to bring home. We also received some nice long sleeve Mariner's shirts for that wonderful weather we have from October to May each year.

It was also Mariner's Trading Card night and the boys traded with a bunch of people at the game to get 4 full sets of the 27 cards which included Aurthur Rhodes which had just been traded a few days before.

Sad to say they did lose 1 to 3 but they had a some great plays chasing down runners between 2nd and 3rd and the boys had a great time eating hot dogs, popcorn, pretzels, chocolate covered strawberries, peanuts and cotton candy.

Some of the players during batting practice.

Kyle and Kevin not happy with us as we made them turn around and look at us instead of trying to get those fly balls.

It's Been A While

Okay...sorry it's been a while. Chris got me hooked on this thing called "Owned" in Facebook and I just keep looking at all the funny pictures people will post. I'll catch you up on the past 2 weeks over the next few days.
