Katie and Alex had a blast playing with their cousins, aunts and uncles. My favorite day was our last day there, we spent it boating on the Columbia River with family. I'm so glad my kids got to experience a day like that. My favorite family memories are of us boating on the river. The weather was perfect, the water was calm and the company was the best. Alex didn't leave my Uncle Greg's side and I think he was in the boat for every trip out. He loved helping Uncle Greg drive the boat. I was really wishing for a "pause button" so the day would never end.
I was able to catch up with some long time friends. I can't believe we all graduated from HS 15 years ago. It was so fun to get together again and see each others' kids. Thanks, dad, for letting us invade your house and for grilling for us. :)
Another great thing about being back in WA is all of the wonderful fruits and vegetables. We stopped at a fruit stand on the way back from my sister's house and the kids loved picking out their own fresh fruit. We had amazing nectarines, peaches, pears, cherries, and huckleberries. Most of all we had AMAZING Quincy Corn.
It's always nice to get back home, but it sure makes me miss living close to my family. I'm sure glad I have so many wonderful friends in Las Vegas.
