Seattle Trip and Camp Reed Family Camp

Check it out. I am blogging again. I am just so very proud of myself!

Here are a few pictures of our last week of major PARTAY before school starts. Seattle trip to mooch off of Russ' hotel room. First time up the Space Needle (the most amazing view!!!!), a visit to the Pacific Science Center (total hands on educational fun but a little overstimulating like Chuck E. Cheese), and a lot of swimming at the hotel pool. And no, I did not run into Jason from the Bachelorette but was looking everywhere for him! :)



The last part of the week was spent at Camp Reed on Fan Lake for family camp. Holy Cow this was one of the most amazing experiences of our lives and I have no pictures because my camera broke!!!! Argh! We rock climbed, tie dyed, hiked, star gazed, swam, canoed, jogged, pedal boated, crafted like crazy, shot bb guns, row boated, did archery, sang, danced, built fires, played games, dove off the high dive, built dams in the stream, played capture the flag (I caused a two inch gash in some dude's nose!), etc. The skits made my cheeks hurt I laughed so hard. Chad even went off a totally cool bike ramp into the lake on a floating bike. This breathtaking camp was just like the movies. (The only thing missing was the BLOB from the movie Heavyweights. Doing the Blob is on my Life List!!! I'm hunting one down!) My favorite part of the camp was being fed every meal and having our dishes washed for us. I felt spoiled.

Oh Leah that sounds like sooooo much fun! Take me next time :).

You are so beautiful and the kids are so cute. Sarah is totally a little Leah, but I'm still trying to figure out who the others look like...a good mix I guess!

You look so relaxed in all of your pictures. :) Did you hear that Jason is going to be the NEW BACHELOR? Set your TIVO!!!! :) He probably is in LA filming RIGHT NOW! I am sure that is the only reason you didn't see him in Seattle.
