Story Time

Just some photos Bryan snapped a couple weeks back of our evening Story Time! These kids would listen to books ALL DAY LONG if we'd let them... so story time is a long, evening affair now!

 

Kanaskat Palmer Camping Trip

This past weekend we finally got the trailer out for a some Spring camping, our first trip this season! We took a short trip just to get our groove back down, make sure all things were working well with the trailer and get out of town into nature. We went to Kanaskat Palmer, a little local favorite camp ground that we have enjoyed many times.

The weather started out wet but actually cleared up to beautiful sunshine for the whole afternoon on Saturday - making for some nice outdoor time, nature walk, a bit of rock collecting and a campfire complete with smores. Sunday morning the kids got out a bit to go for a walk but we did a bit of indoor time and packing up. The weekend went very quickly but it felt good to get out and start the camping season!

Snowy Fun!

The kids enjoyed some fun time out in the snow the past couple of days... and most likely the next couple of days! They spent time exploring the white powdery stuff, tasting it, building creatures and a snowman. All followed by mugs of hot cocoa with marshmallows in our cozy little house! Fun times had by all!!!

Leavenworth 2011

We enjoyed yet another wondeful year in Leavenworth for their beautiful town lighting celebration. We stayed at a hotel in town next to the hotel we stayed in the first year we visited for the lighting festival. Being close is always a treat and makes it very easy with young kids to move back and forth to the hotel as needed!

The weekend was filled with sledding on the town hill, some snow play, good company, yummy food and brew, beautiful holiday lights, Santa, a living nativity, a little lantern parade and holiday shopping. Something for everyone!
