Needless to say we are bit busy this summer!
This year was the first 4th of July I haven't worked in years! So we decided to do up the Bothell Family Fourth.
The morning dawned cool and cloudy (remember, summer doesn't start until July FIFTH!) but we still were able to walk to the downtown firehouse for a pancake breakfast.
Next we walked down Main Street with a few thousand other people in the children's parade. The kids loved decorating their wagon.
Never a dull moment - the kids provided entertainment while we waited for the grand parade to start.
Jude kept asking when Mickey would be coming. I think he was expecting a Disney spectacle and not the local hometown version.
Jude absolutely squealed with delight when he saw Teacher Betsy walking with her kids in the parade!
This year was the 2nd Annual Noble cul-de-sac 4th.
(Issac, Jude, Olin, Ellie, Cindal, Chloe, Hazel and Livi in front)
The kids LOVED lighting off fireworks. They played together in the cul-de-sac for hours.
CHELAN!!!
Our friends, Kyle and Kelsie invited us to their condo in Chelan for a weekend.
Chelan is a beautiful lake just 3 hours away. It was a beautiful weekend with great friends!
My family melting when we stopped in Leavenworth. Drew and Ellie are my exact opposites and literally wilt in the heat.
The kids played in the pool for hours each day, even little Leira loved floating in the cool water.
Drew and Kyle have been friends since kindergarten and I have known Kyle since we moved to Washington when I was 11 years old. It's so fun to still be great friends and see our kids playing together too.
Stop in Leavenworth on the way home required an ice cream pick me up. Ellie's favorite ice cream of late is unequivocally Rainbow Sherbet!!!
Next weekend we're headed to Twisp for floatdown.
Whew! We pack a lot into these 2 warm months!
