Vacation

We, just this afternoon, returned home from a week long vacation first to Winthrop for a few days at the cabin and then on to Colville for a couple of days with my Mom and Dad. What a fun time we had. We arrived in Winthrop last Monday at around dinner time. Jon and Gregory immediately hit the river for some fishing. Yep...they caught some. So much fun! We spent the whole week in Winthrop enjoying ourselves there. Jon did some fishing with and without Gregory. Besides fishing, we enjoyed evening rides to look for deer, and a trip to the swimming pool in Twisp only to find out they did not open for us to swim until 1:00 (it was 11:00). 1:00 was not going to work for a toddler and a baby. Back to the cabin we went. One of the days we enjoyed a lunch in town with ice cream to follow. There were also lots of deer to look at. Gregory really enjoyed just being outside at the cabin with his chainsaw by the woodpile. Here are some pics of our time there. Oh....I forgot to mention our trip down to the river for some water time with Maggee and throwing rocks for Gregory.

On Friday, we headed to Colville to visit with my family. On Friday night my mom watched Maggee and Gregory while Jon and I went to the beer garden in the park with some friends. We had such a great time. I saw so many people that I had not seen in years. The added bonus for the weekend was that mom slept with the kids all three nights, even getting up in the night with Maggee. Wow! What a gift that was. On Saturday, we enjoyed our perfect day with my dad on the water. My mom also joined us. We went out in dad's boat and had a very relaxing afternoon. Maggee loved it. Gregory was very nervous at first, but got used to it and couldn't get enough. What fun that was. After that, we went with my mom and visited some friends who have property on a lake. What a great evening. We tried Indian Tacoes for the first time. YUM! On Sunday, we went to Kettle Falls to visit with both of my Grandmas. Gregory figured Grandma Millie (GG to him) needed some help with her trees in her yard so he had his chainsaw ready to go while we were there.

Jon is probably off work for a few days while the woods are shut down for fire danger. We will enjoy some more time with him off work. Not sure what this week will bring... stay tuned!!

Oh yeah.... What is Maggee doing this week: Sitting up, saying more sounds including mamama...finally, scooting all over, smiling and laughing more than ever, eating some baby snacks, and drinking water from a sippy cup.
