Vacation-Part Four

One of the many highlights on our vacation was meeting, finally,  a long time blogger/FB friend, Marie. She and her daughter, Joy, invited us down to her home for horse back rides. We brought the grandkids and our DIL along. We all had a blast! She went above and beyond to see we all had a good time.

Vacation..Part 3

After we left Leavenworth we headed off to see my hubby's Aunt Gloria, Cousin Carole and Roger. Along the way, we stopped to see some beautiful sights. The first is Deception Falls. Then, Deception Pass. Though they seem like the same place, or at least associated, they are not. They are hours apart. Deception Falls is on Hwy 2 in the Cascade Mountains. Deception Pass is near to Canada, by Puget Sound.

Father's Day-Part Two

After we left Eric, Jenn and the kids we headed up to Leavenworth. We spent two days visiting. We did all the normal tourist stuff (we always do). And kept to our tradition of stopping at the The Gingerbread Factory for cookies (no, I did not eat any). It was a relaxing time. The weather was just great.

Our Vacation. Part One-Father's Day

We arrived in WA on Thursday night. We spent Friday and Saturday visiting with my mom and stepdad and Julia. On Sunday we started off to see my dad and step mom. Being that it was Father's day I was really excited to actually be with my daddy. Mike's son and DIL and the grand kids were camping. It worked out well because it was right on our way to see my daddy. I was very pleased that Eric got to spend some time with his dad on FD too. Here are just a few pictures from that day.. I was doubly pleased that Julia came with us too.

Ladies Meeting

 We had a nice ladies meeting on Saturday. Mrs. Randall gave a good spiritual object lesson on how we can let life shape us. She used a hard boiled egg-to show how we can become hard and unchanging, not allowing God to work in our lives. . She used a cooked carrot to show how we can be come spiritually soft and weak . And finally, coffee grounds mixed in water to show how we can be blended and mixed well in our lives-allowing God to constantly change us.

Then later my "adopted son" and Brandon did an experiment. They taped Brandon to the table to see if he would hold if the table was tipped up. It worked. LOL.. Boys are so strange. LOL. These two are carbon copies of each other. It is fun and exhausting to watch them play.

My 'daughter' Mackenzie watches. I wonder what is going on in HER mind. LOL

Happy Birthday to my Daddy!!

Happy Birthday, Daddy!! I hope it's a great one. See you in a few weeks.
