Chelan Trip

We had a lovely 5 day trip to Chelan with our extended family..Grammy, Grampy and Aunt Jacey and family. It was the first time we'd been to Chelan in years. I think last time I went I was about 21 years old, and it was ski season...no need to say how long ago that was.  

Chelan is just a beautiful little town and the lake is so fun. The kids just love being in the water. My parents blessed us all by renting a gorgeous getaway home with plenty of rooms for all of us ..and more (next year Uncle Jay!) . 

We did lots of hanging out, enjoying the sun, playing in the yard and lake..and a little wine each evening. We enjoyed a couple nights of thunder showers (it was mid to upper 90's in the daytime with lots of sun so the evening showers felt very East Coast!), and one meteor shower. So neat. I will note that one of the evening's thunder showers came with gale-force winds and sent our wine glasses and dishes and hot tub cover...and baby walker flying. It was crazy how quickly they came and how difficult is was to get inside and even open the doors. Even more impressive were the masses of trees (and not small tress!) that were pulled out by their roots from the winds along the golf course we stayed on.

One highlight of the trip was playing at the water park 'Slidewaters'. It was so fun for the kids to play in the water and do the big water slides..but there are no pictures of it as I couldn't exactly do slides and carry a big camera..not going to work. It was so fun to play with the four big kids (My three and cousin Madeline) and Blake and I and Grampy and Uncle Matt.
