Glacier View Campground on Lake Wenatchee

Although we didn't get the best weather forecast, it didn't rain on us over Father's Day. It was windy and really cold, but we did it and Elle Belle had a blast. The best part was watching her look up at the huge trees in awe. She loved stumbling around the uneven and rocky camp spot and fell in love with throwing rocks in the lake. On Sunday morning, we woke up to sunshine and got a nice short hike in to a beautiful lake. First camp trip of the year was a success!

Stocking up in Ellensburg, Elle Belle wanted to help gather camping items

Can I have s'mores at home, too?

Mori-chan and Darcy, our road pals on this trip as it was too windy to take Darcy out on the lake.

Swimming Lessons

We are so lucky to live by an outdoor pool (one of only 2 in Seattle). So, we took advantage and had swim lessons twice/week the whole summer. Our little girl is a fearless water-slider!!

Grandma and Grandpa's visit to Seattle

Because of the reunion, my parents flew in and took care of Eliana for two nights. What a treat! They stayed a few days longer and we had a ton of fun doing activities all over Seattle. Thank you again!
