Vacation's all I ever wanted!

Last week we made the annual pilgrimmage north for vacation. It was a great week and the best weather we've had in a couple years. During our week we rode paddle boats/kayaks, swam, hiked, biked, and went to a water park. We also had fun seeing Gram and Grandad both directions on the trip and seeing Aunt Suzanne, Uncle Peter and Claire on the way there. Here are a few pics!


Heading out for a swim at the pond.


Cole decided to try to bury Hayley.



This is as far as he got...



Pretty flowers!



The princess on her way to dinner.



On our hike at the Cascade Path. Hayley decided to goof off in every one of my 6 picture attempts...



Dreaming of hitting those ski trails in the winter!



Off for another dinner at the end of our trip.

A pool or a pond? A pond or a pool?

Still having fun but the summer is going by quickly! Enjoyed a great visit with Uncle Rory, Aunt Rebekah, Kirk and Campbell 2 weeks ago. Missed out on seeing Uncle Peter, Aunt Suzanne and Claire - but hoping for a "redo" this weekend. Cole is finishing up baseball camp this week -- always a highlight of the summer! Hayley is still in school, but has managed to find the time to become a hula hooping maniac. It's hilarious -- and she finds it so funny that NONE of the rest of us can master this skill. Get used to it Hayley...



At the water slide at the pool...I think they are so skinny that they can't shoot out of the end of the slide. Not enough weight...

Sorry for the sideways picture - forgot to flip it.

Good grief - another one sideways...On her way up the stairs. This slide is probably 30 feet high - Mom was a little nervous...

Hayley somehow managed to always flip around in the slide and come out feet first?
