Lake Chelan

In July we went to Lake Chelan in Washington with the Bleak family for an entire week. We had a blast! Here are some highlights:

Golfing

Lots of fun in the cold lake! Nathan decided to jump into the lake and land on the raft. His leg went right through the raft!

More fun in the sun together boating

Nathan wake boarding
He is such a pro!

Me and Kristen tubing! We laughed the whole time.


Katelyn fed some ducks and they came back every day for food. William got to like them. Before this picture was taken he was trying to touch them and one nipped at him and scared him. Other than that he really liked watching them.

We ate lots of good food.

The Reading Club
Everyone had a book to enjoy during the week.
Wills in his pool
He enjoyed the water too!
Playing Kubb
We played this Swedish game where you knock down wooden blocks with dowels. It's really fun!

Hungry, Hungry Hippos!
We played lots of fun games.


Time to say goodbye

We are so grateful that Nathan's aunt and uncle were generous enough to let us stay in their beautiful home. We had a wonderful family vacation! We miss it!

Some of my favorite quotes/memories:

* Scott: "Mom loves to dance- especially on tables."
* While debating whether it's better to read or listen to Harry Potter Katelyn said:
"I have lots of cool voices in my head, Mom."
* Gayle (during golfing in reference to Scott's shot): "Wow. That's a great shot. Did he throw it?"
* We're pretty sure Wills thinks Nathan's name is "ball" instead of "da-da"
Nathan (pointing to himself) : "Da-da"
Wills: "ball"
Nathan: "No, Da- da"
Wills: "Ball"
Nathan: "DA-DA"
Wills: "BALL!"

I personally think it's a compliment to be named "ball" by William seeing how much he loves balls!

Love the quotes. Definitely fridge worthy. Sweet Swedish game. Did you pack all those blocks up there? that's is some serious dedication to the game. :)

Ooh, I love family vacations at the lake. What a party. We were so jealous that Ken and Jane got to go for part of it. Someday when we all make a million dollars, we should definitely plan a lake vacation together!

How fun! Gayle always makes me laugh! Should the rest of us start calling Nathan "Ball", or do you think he'll be offended?
