Memorial Day Weekend

The Memorial Day festivities started out with a parade Thursday night. The boys were handed apples, which were quickly replaced with flying candy. :)




Each time Memorial Day weekend rolls around, I'm amazed at the change that comes over Chelan. This park that is usually quiet is mobbed with people. Every hotel and campsite was full! It is like Spring Break invading Chelan.


After work day on Saturday, we went out on the boat to enjoy the sun. Rylan and Jared were with us. Jared caught a fish, and Rylan kissed a fish. :)



Grandpa and Grandma came to enjoy time with the grandkids. Also, we had two funerals for wonderful women. They were Sunday afternoon and Monday morning.




Take note of this sand bar. It was packed all day long, but as evening set in, we went and enjoyed it. It was the perfect place for the kids to play.





Dad, Mom, and 1/4 of their kids.



Monday after the funeral we went back out on the boat. Kevin, Julianne, and Brielle joined us! It was a lot of fun!


You might remember that Brielle is just 11 days older than Wade.

Sweet Brielle


Wade was due for a nap, so I laid him down in the cabin of the boat. He curled up and appeared to be falling asleep so I thought I'd check on him in a couple of minutes. This is what I found. He was dipping his finger in the icing of the cake, that is just to the left, and licking it off. So, our cake had a few poke holes, but he was so cute, I just had to forgive him. :)



I took this picture to show how much the water had raised in the day and a half since we'd been there. There were very few places where the sand was above the water, but the water was very shallow and was still a great place for the kids to play.

Getting buried.


We met up with Rod, Carolyn, Ernie, Linda, Jared, Rylan, Rachelle, Nick, and Mandy for dinner. We BBQ'd burgers at a great little picnic area a few miles up lake.
