Our 1st camping & triathlon weekend of the year

We went over the mountains to central Washington to Moses Lake, Washington. It was sunny, warm and very nice. We camped Friday, and Saturday nights in our tent trailor, and drove home on Sunday. George did the Moese lake International Triathlon Saturday.




Jake and Jenna had a blast in the campgrounds swimming pools which had little water slides that they must have gone down over 100 times each. There favorite part of the trip was the snowcones that they got at the park where the triathlon was held...there favorite flavor...tigers blood!

.
On Saturday, George had his triathlon a 1 mile swim, 25 mile bike and 6.25 mile run with a total time of 2:12.
He finished 22nd out of 169 people and 4th in his age group. He finished the 25 mile ride in 1:02:40 thats averaging about 24mph. The highlight of the race was when Jake and Jenna ran with George through the finish chute. Race Results

Crabs, Seattle and glass

More of our summer adventures with my parents.  Here are our glass creations from our glass blowing.  We went crabbing on day and caught several crabs-only one was a keeper though. We were excited about cooking our first crab ever. It was yummy!  We also spent a day in Seattle at Pike's Place  Mom in line to get her favorite piroskys. We can't leave Pike's with out getting amazing flowers for so cheap-$15 for this giant bouquet.

Weekend Trip to Stehekin

Image
This past week we took a little trip to Stehekin, a small little community that is only reachable by boat. It is located off the north west side of Lake Chelan. The place has no cell phone service, no TV's, no computers! How would we ever survive? I was very hesitant about going but after George begging me I caved and decided to go. We went with Jake's best friends family. Amazingly we had a great time and did not miss our electronics at all. There is very limited transportation there, to get around we had to ride bikes that we rented there and we took a tour bus once to dinner.   Riding our bikes to Rainbow Falls and the bakery. It was a great ride, I only wanted to quit once.  Giant cinnamon rolls at the bakery  Stehekin's one room school house  Us with the Renschler's  Rainbow falls  Fishing  We rented to Polaris for a couple of hours, that I enjoyed driving around. People can arrive to Stehekin by Sea plane...
