Lake Kachess Camping

Hmm....so, I'm realizing that its been almost 2 months since I last posted....guess that means we were having too much fun, guess that also means I have a lot of catch up to do.....so......here we go!

We took a family camping trip to Lake Kachess on the hottest. weekend. ever. It was over 100 degrees which made us extremely thankful we were near a lake. Luckily the heat did not bother the kids and Callie was in heaven with the lake. Liam was extremely happy camping, in fact, I don't think I've ever seen him happier. To be outside all day and be able to have his sister's undivided attention, he was so happy. We enjoyed the experience of having absolutely NO routine, NO priorities, and NO obligations.

We lucked out with a very secluded campsite and it allowed the kids to just explore with no fear that they would accidentally run into another campsite. Not really sure why we even brought toys, I don't think we really played with anything besides sand toys.

My 2 happy campers

This is not the best picture but, by far, my favorite. Callie is helping Liam through the woods....what an amazing sister!

There was much rock throwing over the weekend....we tried to throw the biggest, the smallest, the most, any rocks we could get our hands on.

This was about how far Liam went in the lake the whole weekend but Callie was more than happy to swim with Preston. She is a bit of a fish!

Sun River 2018

For mid winter break, we headed up to Sun River for the week. As always, it did not disappoint! The kids had a blast spending the week with Grandma and Grandpa, all their cousins, skiing, and playing in the snow. This year we started with no snow on the ground and ended with a blizzard that made driving home very tricky. Liam stayed home with Grandma while Callie and I skied. Although it is always hard to be left behind, he loves his Grandma so much and they had an absolute blast together. I'm also realizing that she took all the pictures so I have very few with her...major bummer! We celebrated these 2 boys on this trip. When there is this many kids, you not only take over the whole run but there it is also very difficult to figure out which way to go.... Grandpa and his gang Pretty soon we won't all fit on one couch. Unfortunately our sister/dad ski day did not go as planned. Sarah took a spill the day before and was not able to ski with us for ...

Mothers Day Weekend

We had amazing weather for Mother's Day weekend and tried to enjoy every minute of the summer. On Sunday, Callie and I ran the color run. A 5k through Seattle which involved a lot of dust and color. It was a lot of fun and I was super proud of her and how she pushed herself. Before the race. Shirts are still white and hair is still normal color. We ran with one of Callie's good friends and her mom. Bubbles! That was a highlight for Callie, she loved running through the bubbles. Done! Color and dust everywhere! We spent Saturday with Katy and Dennis and explored Renton and a local beach and park. Callie and Katy The gang! Saturday was so beautiful that we actually went home and the kids ran in the sprinklers and played in the bathing suits all day.
