I am going to try real hard to stay diligent on my blogging this summer. After all I think that my Mom, Brother and Sister-n-Law still look at it from time to time.
This past weekend was Memorial
Weekend. Spokane is typically not known for it's beautiful, warm and sunny Memorial Days So what a treat to have sun and 80's all weekend long!
The topper was being able to head to
the lake and stay with some friends at their beautiful "cabins" for the weekend. Cabins doesn't do these homes justice as there was everything we could possibly need or want ready at our disposal!
They call me Ryann....
Reaganne proving she doesn't need someone else baiting her hook:
Taylor ended up with the prize:
So we had a weekend of kids playing in frrrreeeezzzing water (I remember the days when that was possible), fishing, crawdad catching, tubing, etc. The kids even got to try to wake board for the first time in their lives. Reaganne was the first to show the girls how it was done. She didn't really want to get in the cold water to show them but have to give props to her, none of the adults were about to do it. She is one tough beautiful 10 year old girl.
The girls tubing (and NOT wanting to get wet)
Wake boarding. I am not sure but I am betting that kids feel the same thing we feel, but have a much slower receptive nerves. I mean how else do you explain getting in water that is 56 degrees without a wetsuit? Then add some wind and waves. Seriously? I was cold watching from the boat.
Before hitting the water....literally
Here is Taylor after getting in the balmy water for the first time:
And giving it a shot:
And Ryann giving it a go as well (poor thing couldn't feel her fingers):
We had such a great time. Thank you Leen family for having us up to your place. It was great company and accommodations. The boys lit it up. Jill we deserve a Twigs night. :)
This weekend couldn't pass without thanking each and every Service man and woman both past and present for serving our country. My heart aches for the families that have lost a loved one for any reason, let alone to war. I pray every night that our Troops make it home safe and sound. Cody we are so PROUD of you. We miss you and think of you every single day. Be safe over there.

Great post. Looks like an awesome weekend at the lake!!! Hooray for sunshine.
I still read blogs at LEAST once every two or three months! Looks like a ton of fun up at Henry's. Is this where they live? Loved the video of the girls skiing. Hilarious! And what is UP with Cody's tattoos? Holy COW!! We miss him, too, and we appreciate him and all of the folks over there!
Yes we still read your posts...often and love to see new pictures of you all...hope to see you soon in July.
We had so much fun that weekend too! We need to do things more often together. The girls always enjoy each other and we know how much the "boys" enjoy spending time together. Name the date and time and I will meet you at Twigs!
