Im kind of sad, because I just looked at my "Stats" and noticed only 4 people have looked at my blog in the last while... only one being family, well, thanks for supporting me in my online photo journal!
Well, since Dave has been so busy all summer we haven't done much with him, so we took a 3 day weekend and went to my parents cabin up in the mountains. You drive towards Yakima and take the Granger Exit and drive through Toppenish up through the mountains and 30 minutes before you hit Goldendale you take a turn off and up you go. You'd think, well I thought it would be cooler up there but of course not... it was pretty warm, and we got really dirty... but we had fun, it always surprises me. how I get more rest at home than I do on a vacation... I have redefined vacation as something that completely tires you out and makes you want to stay in bed for days after returning home... I keep telling my husband than one of these days we are going to go on a trip just us to somewhere super relaxing...
We got there Saturday around lunch time and came home Monday around 3, so this is a span of pictures... I prided myself on how I remembered to take pictures... We went 4 wheeling Monday while Ezra was napping...
Ezra had a great time he didn't enjoy sleeping in a strange bed, and once each night woke up and Dave being the awesome husband he is sat up with him while he had some milk than got him back to sleep... there is just something about a dad's big strong cuddly arms...
Sami had fun, was so tired and worn out by the end... she had many of outbursts, it got to the point that grandpa was bribing her to not have them... She wore her old school shoes last month and I didn't try them on her before taking them up with us, but I went to put them on her and they were too small... so she was sporting the sandals with socks thing through the weekend...
Daphne... she never smiles for pictures... but she has a cute smile when she does! She is my little shadow sometimes... she loved going on walks looking for squirrels and lizards... she was a funny girl!
Ezra has learned to wave... and say the word "Bear" since grandpa collects them in his cabin... he was so fascinated!
Grandpa just loves to take the kids 4-wheeling...
They had a good 2-3 hours of cousin fun... before we had to head home...
We had black bottom cupcakes, cheesecake and ice cream and sang to all the birthdays in August and September... me and Daphne were going to be left out but I spoke up... why not just add two more to the mix... it was Brad, Olivia, Suzie, Ryder, Me and than Daphne...
Ezra is quite the cuddler and Torrie's little girl doesn't cuddle much these days she is too busy and so Aunt Torrie got some cuddle time in while Ezra was too tired to fight it and happy to oblidge
My girls never liked these swings, but he loves them...
it was fun, now we are going to be busy with school stuff and than birthdays... what a fun month!

You weren't going to be left out, were you? I didn't forget you at least...
I love reading your blog and keeping up with what's going on with your sweet family!
You know you can leave your kids with us anytime you and David can get away. We OWE you! Like a LOT! =)
It looks like fun to me. I know Vacations with kids are a lot of work. But the pictures don't show that. You are making memories for them! It's worth it, when they grow up and want to get together, you'll see.
Hi Sara! I like to read your blog =) I have been living in denial about vacations for nearly 6 years, I suppose it's time to admit that they really are more work than home life =) In fact, just last weekend we did our first come-home-early-from-trip-because-of-fussy-baby stint. OH well, one day we'll miss this. So they tell me =) just kidding. I laughed when I read that your dad bribes Sami, my dad calls my daughter the devil incarnate. Isn't that horrible?! He admires her spunk, but she drives him crazy. Cute family pics as usual!
