Spring In Chelan

We created our own spring break at the end of April this year in Chelan.  We rented a gorgeous house that we got a great deal on, because of the off season rates up at Wapato Point.  The Turrell's, Stacy's and us headed over and had a great little trip.  The weather was high 60's, low 70's, so it even was nice enough to get some sun, and do plenty of fun activities outside with the kids.  It felt so much like summer it made it really hard to go back to work! 

Other than me needing to go to the doctor the night before we left for a sinus infection, bad cough, and spider bite that later sent me back to the doctor because it was massively infected (I could post a whole blog on that experience, so gross!!!) everyone was healthy, happy, and had a very fun filled and relaxing (even with kids) vacation!! 

Lots of pics, enjoy!
The 3 iPads seemed to always be in use and present, even at the breakfast table :)
Taylor
Lunch on the deck- check out that view!
We had one evening of huge thunder and lightening storms, so cool to watch!

Kykys
Too much fun, and Cole's out on Cruiser's shoulder!
Spidey made sure to have his full rotation of outfits to change into constantly during the trip!
CHEERS!
Loved bath time
Our own hot tub was a hit
Bobo's turn to konk out mid afternoon!  Played hard!
Sweet guy
Stacey and Tay--loved our morning walks and trip to the park and beach!
Josh and Brodes
Hours of entertainment
These 3 (the babies the older boys called them) had hall races and would chase each other and race, these kids are so much fun!
Crew being Crew
Can't beat the pig tails!
Can take the boy out of Lynden, but can't take Lynden out of the boy..nice pee bush buddy!
Spiderman sprinkler, cool!
Adults got to lounge too :)
Sweet Kendalita!
Oh and we had our share of meltdowns...
Lots of space to play baseball and run!
The mom's did all the work :)
Warm weather, who cares, spidey fleece it is!
Josh and Stace!
LOVE THIS!
Blow out, good work Chris! :)
Our acrobat!
In Chelan they have a fun little ice cream shop, which our group made quite the scene.  These are the years, I know they go fast, but man oh man, these kids are CRAZY!!! :)

We had a blast, and it felt AMAZING to get out of town and get some quality family time in! Makes us even more ready for summer! But first we will tackle the BUSY month of May, with 6 family birthdays, Mother's day and some other fun announcements!

I wish I could comment individually on some of the pictures in this post. You took some great pics. Pretty sure Brodes and Jax could be best friends being that all they both want to wear is superhero costumes 24/7. Love that Chris was changing the blow-out diaper...now that's a real man! Wish you would have posted a pic of that spider bite:). Glad you guys had so much fun, you deserve it! Love ya.

Oh and remind me to tell you the story that Colt told me before bed last night sometime. Somehow Crew became a superhero and it was hilarious!

Can't wait for all the fun announcements!
