The Wiggles...Again

My Mom purchased tickets for us to go to the Wiggles a while back and the day finally arrived.
Alyssa doesn't watch them too much anymore, she is more into the princess or girly thing, but every time she does see them enjoys dancing and says how she wants to go back. When my mom was up for her recital and saw the ad on t.v. who could resist.
The times for the shows sucked. They had one mid afternoon and in the evening. Now Alyssa doesn't really nap anymore but she does have quiet time so it was a hard decision trying to figure out which one I wanted to go to. I chose the afternoon one.

The show was at two thirty in Seattle. We headed on down and had to wait around a little before we got to our seats. We sat in the fourth row and had a great time. The kids did great despite being tired. Alyssa had a great time telling "Brad" to wake up. Jeff was unable to attend due to heart surgery. Both kids also enjoyed dancing around.

I'm so thankful that I get to share these things with the kids. I know there will be a time when they no longer want us to be around but hopefully that won't happen. Is that wishful thinking or what!?

Camping Trip

A good friend of mine invited us to go on their annual family camping trip. They have property in Eastern Washington in the Twisp area and go over every other weekend in the summer and time throughout the rest of the year. Every year they have a huge family camp out, her husband is one of seven siblings. We were really looking forward to it because we knew it would be fun our kids are the same age and her and I "roll" the same and our mutual friend was going to with her family.

There aren't too many friends I would go vacationing with or with again except these two. It was a great weekend with lots of fun and lots of laughs!

Friday when we arrived we set up camp up and headed on over to the main mingling area for some cocktails, fun, food, on conversation. It was a great evening of people showing up all through out the day / night. The next day there were probably at least thirty or so people there.

The guys all went golfing that morning and Michelle was getting everything ready for the scavenger hunt that she created for both the big kids and little kids. Everyone had a blast and especially enjoyed all the prizes. We spent some time down at the river cooling off afterwards.

It was a fun day with great company. I'm looking forward to going back in September for our wine tasting trip. We are also going to take a day or so and camp just the family in Entiat. All the kids loved seeing each other and playing. I don't know why they wouldn't the six of them are becoming great friends. It's been so much fun to watch all of them together.

This was our first time tenting it since having kids. I really can't remember if Alyssa has slept in a tent or not but every time we have gone since having them we have got a cabin. Even though it's a lot of work and stuff I'm glad that it all went well in the tent and look forward to many more.
