Weekend w/ The Benson's

We recently got to spend a crazy weekend with our friends The Benson's at our family cabin in Plain WA.  All eight of us piled into The Benson's Sequoia and headed West. 
We decided to stop to get some Mexican Food for dinner in Wenatchee.  This was the worst place I think I've been.  It took an hour for us to get our food!  By the time we got it we were so hungry we shoveled it into our mouths barely tasting it!  They took forever to refill chips and salsa.  I don't know how many times we had to ask for refills never to get it.  All around a bad experience.  The app Yelp gave it good reviews.  Lesson learned, don't listen to Yelp!

Saturday we headed to Leavenworth.  The wild fires were still pretty bad, so it was pretty smokey

So Smokey but still pretty
 
 
Outside our favorite little store, Plain Hardware
 
On the way home we always head to a taco truck in Wenatchee.  Everyone is making weird faces, probably from the spicy peppers!
 
 

Girls Weekend

My Mom, Sister, Kelly and I got to head over the mountains for the weekend for my godsister's baby shower.  It was wonderful getting to spend some time with just the girls.  We enjoyed hanging out in Leavenworth and Plain, and then heading over to Snohomish.  I hadn't been to my childhood home in a long time so it was fun to see how it has changed and to show Kelly where I grew up.

Happy 16th Birthday Keith!

Hard to believe that little boy I once held in my arms is now 16! Each year brings more wonderful memories. Can't wait to see what this year will bring. Love you buddy!
