Leavenworth

 My sister's family and our family went camping in Leavenworth with my mom last week!
 My grandma came for a night also which was really special.
 My boys love their Tutu!

Grammy brought bubbles for everyone



 Casey and Maddie

 There was a boy Casey's age and they followed each other around on their bikes most of the day!
 They even traded bikes from time to time.  :)
 Jacob was more than excited to climb up his favorite pole...
 Daddy even proved he could do it too!
 We celebrated Casey's birthday since his cousins weren't able to come to the party.  (I'm pretty sure he thinks his birthday is everyday now!)
 Maddie drew him this super cute picture and even handmade a Thomas the train for him!
 Travis bought him a little present too.
 Our first cabin actually had ants in it (when Adam was laying down on the cot, there were ants all the way up his arm.  EEEEEW.)  Thankfully we were more than compensated with this upgraded lodge.  Refrigerator, microwave, oven, bathroom, shower... we'll take it!  Although it was honestly more like a hotel than camping!

 The boys played at the playground


 The river (which was low enough for us to go tubing this time!  Yay!)

 The Sound of Music up in the hills.   Ahhhh, the scenery literally takes your breath away.  It was Gavin's first time this summer and he was really excited.  You could tell the parts he really liked because his eyes would get this sparkle and he would sit up really straight and clap with a beaming face.  At one point, Adam and I looked at each other and our eyes filled with tears just watching him.


Campfires are definitely one of our favorite parts of camping...


 and s'mores.  :)
