Family reunion

We attended a family reunion this weekend! It was a lot of fun to see family we hadn't seen in years. We also got to see Scotty's grandpa Dan and managed to get all the siblings in a pic with him. It was alot of fun, we played volleyball, toured Riverfront park, had a girl's and a guys' night out, bowled, attended a baptism and just got to have some time to visit. All of our nieces and nephews have grown by leaps and bounds and wish we could slow them down. And I really can't wait till we can get together again with them.

Riverside park hike!

We spent Memorial Weekend in Spokane at a family reunion for Scotty's side of the family. We had a blast and I will post more on that in a different post. But on Sunday we went and did a hike in the area. It was absolutely gorgeous!! The river was going full force and it was like 90 degrees. We hiked down at Riverside State park. The kids did great even though we made the mistake of letting them wear their crocks so we had to cut the hike short.

Although the trail scared me!

But at the end of the hike there was a huge rock and the kids had fun posing with it.

Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day all!!! I had a wonderful day. I was allowed to sleep in(a rarety) and then was served breakfast in bed to the tune of Happy Mother's day(ie happy birthday with a few word corrections.) Then we made backpack hiking survival bags and set out to go on our hike. We went to Point Defiance park and ate lunch on the beach. It was beautiful and we got to watch 2 seals play. Then we hit the trail.

We weren't able to locate a map of the trails so we used Scotty's trusty compass and wove our way around the peninsula. Well we wound around further than we thought. We ended up doing a 5 mile hike when all was said and done.

Neatless to say we are all a bit pooped but everyone of us carried our own backpacks and made it to the end, our kids are much tougher than I give them credit for,especially the two youngest. Well anyway, I hope you all had a wonderful mother's day!!
