This past weekend we took a drive to Washington and Idaho to visit family. First we spent a couple days in Tri Cities with Uncle Mark, Aunt Kim and Brett....
The girls are so enamored by their cousin Brett. Shannon, though, was especially attentive to his needs. She was constantly bringing him toys and trying to feed him.
We also headed up to Yakima for a morning to see Aunt Shasta, Uncle Shawn and cousins Sandy and Michael. We went to a Kids Castle play area and let the kiddos run til they couldnt run any more. It was a great place for them, and all had a fun time.
Saturday afternoon we drove to Idaho to see Uncle Ross and Aunt Kris. When we were about half way there, in the pass, we found ourselves surrounded by snow. Allie became ecstatic and INSISTED this was the perfect place to stop and take a break. Luckily we had all our warm gear with us... though Allie was very upset that we somehow forgot to bring a sled.
While in Idaho, Allie enjoyed playing the Wii with everyone.
She also spent quite a bit of time in the back yard, helping get rid of the tumbleweeds!! After clean up, it was on to a game of tackle uncle ross football with a soccer ball. (Allie made up the rules, "Aunt" Ross followed the rules... for some reason, Allie didnt get that Kim and Kris are Aunt, but Mark and Ross are uncle... for the weekend, all were aunt..aunt ross, aunt mark, aunt kris and aunt kim.... i sorta liked it!!)
On Monday, we headed home, and once again we stopped to play in the snow. This time the snow was wet enough to build a snowman, which we appropriately named Harry since he had a head full of hair.
Did this sign apply to her??
I cannot believe how well they did on the 8 hour drive home.
It was a great weekend, and we are blessed to have so much family in driving distance.
