Lake Chelan with all our buddies!

Well, it's not often enough that I get to spend any time at all with my dear friend Leah so I called her up and told her we were heading over the mountains to visit her in Chelan! It worked out great since Eric was fishing in Alaska and Sara and her two little munchkins decided to join us. All together there were six little ones (all five and under). What fun! We squeezed in a few card games and conversed minimally between kids needing one of us for one thing or another. I guess we'll have more time to talk when we're in our forties and our kids aren't so needy. It's just a season in our lives right? The kids had a blast though...Jake really enjoyed the paddle boat with Tate (they actually took it out all by themselves!). It was adorable because they were completely imitating what their daddies would do if they were on a boat. They drove back and forth from the beach to the dock. Once they were on the dock, they would tie up, let one of them off, cast the line, and meet the other one on the beach...and then do it all over again (and over, and over). So cute! That was definitely the best part of Jake's trip. Ava enjoyed digging in the sand on the beach and instructing the others as to what they should be doing....very bossy! We're working on that. However, she is such a little tomboy and enjoys being messy and hangin' with all the boys (completely unlike her mother!). It was a wonderful little getaway and great to get out of town for a couple days. Thanks girls for a great time! Let's do it again soon!
