Kicking off Summer with lots of fun!!




The whole gang at the Lenore Caves hiking and geocaching!
Well summer is definitely getting started around here. The weather is slowly cooperating and we've been VERY busy...which is what reminds me that it's almost summer!! The last couple weeks have pretty much flown by since we've had plans almost every day/night. I'll just recap a couple of the highlights. Last Thursday I made dinner for my mom, Andy and I, (a delicious honey dijon Salmon with roasted asparagus and brown rice..mmm...) then my mom and I headed up to Seattle to see Grease at the 5th Avenue Theater. We had so much fun and the performance was amazing!! And as an added bonus, Taylor Hicks (past American Idol) starred as "Teen Angel" and I was able to get a CD and his autograph after the show (I'll post pics as soon as I get them from my mom :)) Overall it was a wonderful evening and great to have some quality mother daughter time, we decided we are definitely going to start seeing more shows together!!


Friday I worked all day, then came home to finish the preparations for our Sun Lakes Camping trip!! We got up Saturday morning, packed up the car and headed to Orting to pick up Keren and Steve. We got a bit later of a start then planned but had an entertaining road trip while battling through some of the traffic who also had the idea to soak up some sun on the East side! Once we finally got to the campsite we met up with Katie and Kyle (Andy's sis and brother in law) and got our campground all set up for the weekend.

The weekend was filled with a visit to the Grand Coulee Dam, geo-caching, hiking, sunshine, campfires, bbq, smores, drinking and lots and lots of FUN!!! We had so much fun camping and hope this was a start to many more camping trips to come.

It looks like you guys had so much fun! I wish we could've gone too. We'll have to arrange another camping trip before the summer has come and gone! Remember how we said we were all going to go camping in college? I think we made it once in 4 years! Time sure flies by.
