Washington Vacation

I spent the first week of August in Washington at the Anderson's home with the Horton and Gillespie families.
Everyone loved the pool and I loved Alaria's outfit.
Kris had to save Steph multiple times in the pool. I just wish she would learn to swim.
We went and picked raspberries and blueberries. Later on I made raspberry jam.




We enjoyed a picnic in the park and a Mariner's Baseball Game.
It was a lot of fun and the weather was great!


We had a "special" celebration for Kim's 41st birthday including a talent show, pin the moustache on Brutus, balloon art, a pinata, and a very scary clown.

Kim had three special cakes as well. The food all week was wonderful!
I really wanted to hike while we were there so I took everyone on a hike called Twin Falls. It was beautiful and I loved hiking in Washington again.








The older girls planned a girls night for painting nails and watching Girls Just Want to Have Fun. I wanted to follow up with Newsies but Steph and Michelle would not have it.
Of course one night we made tortillas and mostly ate the dough.
Josh had so much fun he fell asleep sitting up. It was a great vacation. Thanks again Andersons!

What a beautiful group of people! Great agenda of fun. I'd really enjoy that hike to Twin Falls too.

they didn't want to watch to Newsie's! I'm SHOCKED! Who was the clown? If it wasn't Kris, then was it-Brother Horton?

I'll admit I am pretty jealous we did not get to go up there! Looks like you guys had so much fun.
