We left Friday afternoon and got back late Monday night. It was a lot of fun and full of great memories: Preston pretty much played outside the entire time and got so dirty but he loved it. He was so excited he hardly slept so he is exhausted. The mosquitos were really bad this time. We only saw one mouse this time (Branden saw it) compared to about 5 last time. On Saturday Tom and I went on a date to Apple Annie's Antique Mall (which was the most eccentric place I have ever been) and then to a Mexican Restaurant while my mom watched the 2 boys. We came back around 4pm and Preston would not take a nap for my mom. He was beyond any normal mentality. I took him to the bedroom where he just kept attacking me! I held him down and just started singing until he passed out. When he is up there he just has such a hard time going to sleep.
Sunday we just hung out. We "forgot" our church clothes and mom didn't want to go without us. so Dad shared a lesson with us for our "church" time. We also watched this cute Japanese movie called Totoro. Preston was mesmorized by it.
Dad and Hannah flew in (took them 30 minutes compared to a 2+ hour car drive). Dad kept his plane at the Lake Weatchee State Airport. The runway was a large field of grass! Look at this sign - it says "Please sign the guest book" haa haa. The funniest part was the bathroom though:
Notice the bathroom just says "Women". Lake Wenatchee airport and Preston both believe that a mens bathroom in this area is in the trees.
John Thomas and his friend Nick came and stayed and they climbed Dirty Face mountain. They couldn't make it all the way to the top because there was so much snow - but they got some good pictures with views:
John Thomas, Nick, Heidi and Branden all saw a black bear right off the freeway when they were coming up. It was right by Stevens Pass. When we were going home we saw it too:
All these cars were stopping and people were almost hitting into each other. Tom parked right in front of that car that is parked on the side of the road in the picture. I was freaking out because he was about 10 ft from our car. I said, "You know those stupid people on TV who get too close to animals - that is what we are right now" It was pretty scary but cool too. Tom wanted to throw some food to it but I just screamed at him to go. Heidi and Branden took this picture. Isn't that crazy? I guess he is a very social bear and likes to be around cars.
