Another great trip with the
CWU crew in Lake
Chelan! Every year we keep getting bigger and bigger with all of our kiddos which makes for some interesting days! All 10 adults and 7 kids stayed in a 4 bedroom house this year, and with 3 more babies on the way for next year we will
definitely have to look into getting condos or cottages.
The only hang up the whole trip was the spread of the nasty flu bug which hit about half of us, yuck!!
I am really
disappointed in my pictures this year for a couple reason: (1) I didn't get the shots I really wanted to because of being too busy with the kids and (2) my camera has something wrong with it and the pictures are coming out grainy and blurry :( If anyone has any suggestions for a new camera that doesn't cost a fortune let me know, I LOVE my pictures!!

Crew and
Jaymin holding hands on the way to the waterfront. They had a great trip together with some happy moments and few fights! Boys will be boys!

Crew calls
Jaymin his best friend :)

The house we stayed at had a ton of beach chairs and other gear for us to use which was very nice.

Brave boys wading out and swimming in the lake. It was nice because you could walk out a ways before it got very deep. Don't worry mom, he did wear his life jacket!!

Colt and Brody got along great! Colt really took a liking to Mr.
Brodes and followed him around and took care of him. Always wanting to put his arm around him or hug him. Too cute!


Crew and
Jaymin had a blast in this pool!


Tyler, Chris/
Brodes, and Shane baby enjoying the afternoon on our huge patio. I wish I would have gotten some pictures of the house we stayed it, it was really nice.

Each night the couples all took turns cooking dinner for everyone. Care and Dave made dinner on their anniversary. We also celebrated Tyler's 31st
bday and Tracey and Tyler also had their anniversary while we were there!

Like always Court was a huge help with all of the kids, plus they all adore her. Next year she will be adding the group with her own. WE ARE SO EXCITED!
Brodes and Shane baby getting ready to go down the the "Squirt Gun" water slide. Brody takes after Chris more in the sense he was a little scared, ha ha. So
Brodes spent most of the day walking around and socializing with other people and trying to climb over
every one's towels!

We spent most of the day waiting in the pool area where Crew would run up and down going on the water slides.

Me and Court,
prego together due 4 months apart. She claims she will be having a girl, which I hope she does... BUT I am calling boy, just my feeling, sorry Court!!! :)

We all took turns chasing Crew around and making sure he did not just shoot down a slide without someone looking. HE LOVES the
water slides, which is probably and understatement!

So much fun!

The Stacy's and Price's

Our one and only family shot, we normally do group and family pictures the last night but didn't get to it this year... I am sure looking and feeling pregnant these days, only 2 months to go!!!

Dale and Wyatt coming down Wyatt's first water slide!

Wyatt stayed dry but Dale got soaked trying to keep Wyatt from going under :)

Wyatt is a mini Jess, with Dales size, it will be interesting to see what baby Gavin looks like. :)

Usually you might start of the first slide of the day on an easy one to get the kid warmed up, not Dave, he sends him and Colt crashing down the big one :)

After going under, Colt is
still smiling, what a big boy!

Court and
Brodes
Dale and Dave after
tipping the tube on the big slide, they were pretty proud of themselves!

Cruiser sporting the sunglasses that Chris got for all the guys.


It got pretty hectic at times trying to control 5 very mobile boys, from keeping the stairs clear and doors locked. We seemed to be always counting heads :)

Brody sure loved baby
Jax's bouncer, it is going to be fun keeping him off all of our baby stuff here shortly :)

Jess is so great with all the kiddos from taking them to feed the ducks, and having them help make dessert they just all adore her! Here all the boys are helping smash
oreos (eating most of them) for the mud pie dessert she made, and it was YUMMY!

Dale/Wyatt, Chris, and Dave

Cool dude Cruiser!

Brody riding his ride on with his "
Ronald" shoes

There was lots of room for the kids to ride around in the private neighborhood where we stayed

All the kids always wanted someone
else's bike to ride, go figure!!

Since a lot our plans got canceled and rescheduled throughout the week because of people being sick the boys finally got their golf game in on Friday.

Court, Tracey, and
Rilyn
Brody was very entertained playing the rocks too...

1, 2, 3, 4.... Crew and Jaymin counting and racing across the street.
I am going to be updating this post over the next couple days once I get some of my friends pictures to share too!
We are looking forward to many more years of vacationing together in Chelan. Can't wait for next year!!!
