So far this summer...

We have accomplished quite a lot in the 2 weeks of summer break. I have repainted Jenna's bedroom, Jenna has had a movie party, Jake has gone on lots of bike rides, had water fights and Nerf wars with friends, we've gone to Ikea for meatballs, gone miniature golfing, completed a difficult puzzle, I've read 2 books, set up our new little pool and done some yard work.



Jenna's new room-I did all the painting and cut and installing the chair rail.
 I got this brand new pool from a garage sale for $20-it took quite awhile to set up and by the time I finished it started raining and has rained since, so no one has gotten to use it. We tried growing new grass a month ago but the birds and other critters ate most of the seed so we did not have much luck with it-today I picked up a few pieces of sod and still need to get some more.
Well if you can't go in the pool might as well use the float for a comfy chair for watching TV. 
On Tuesday my vary first track coach stopped by to visit me-I have not seen him probably since high school maybe even before that. It was so awesome to be able to visit with him-he is such a great man who donated so much of his time driving me and other kids back and forth to practice.
So that's our summer so far!

Crabs, Seattle and glass

Image
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...
