My parents have a condo in Chelan and they let us use it in February for a long weekend. We had a great time. It felt nice to get away from all of the scheduled activities and work. We yanked the kids out of school for two days and headed to Leavenworth one night and then on to Chelan the next day.
We stopped at a diner on the way into Chelan for lunch and the kids wanted to learn to take pictures with my camera. It's always an experience watching a child maneuver a camera like a football, but I tried to keep calm.
Noah always tries to play "tough guy" role even though he has a soft heart. Tough shell to crack.
At the Condo, they have miniature gold you can play and they still had the ice rink up, which Jonah loved. It was warm weather, which is strange for February, but it made it that much more fun.
We all worked on our miniature golf, swimming, and ice skating skills. We had a great time. After looking at the picture, I realized I do take most of the pictures, so I'm, never in the shot. That's gotta change.
All the kids were learning how to use the putter the right way from the Reba.
We were the only ones out there, but it was so nice to have some time alone.
I think this was the put that Jonah launched over my head. I tried to let them know that they weren't teeing off, but just putting. I would have done the same thing at his age. This was the same Condo area that our family used to come with good friends, the Wells, a long time ago. It brought back a lot of good memories.
It was a bit chaotic, kind of like herding cats, but I would have been surprised at anything else.
Looks like summer out. The kids wanted to try and go swimming because they thought it was hot outside.
Here's Jonah practicing on the ice with the moon coming out that night. He loved being out there by himself.
Jonah didn't want me to get a picture of him falling, because it's not cool. He said he did that for the camera.
He has sure improved a lot in the past 6 months!
Reba had some time to work on a puzzle, which she loves being able to do.
Jacob is also someone who likes to work on puzzles.
We took a picture of this clinic, which is where we had to bring Jonah when we were here in 2004. We were in the pool area and he fell and cut his head open. I remember sitting with him feeding him m&m's during the evaluation. He was writing a paper on this experience during this weekend, so we took a picture of it.
It was nice that Jonah took time out of his busy hockey schedule to work with Jacob on foot work. They had a great time together.
We did have a fire and ended up roasting marshmallows and making s'mores. We just had to do it. It was so nice to get away,even for a couple days. Thanks a lot mom and dad, we really appreciated every minute.
