Wenatchee

We took a quick trip last weekend to Wenatchee to visit Grandma Rothrock and Grandpa Leonard. We took Alex with us because Dave and Janelle were in Mexico for the weekend..... so we had 5 kids in the van for the 3 hour drive. We left late so that they would sleep on the way there, which worked out well. On our way out of PF we drove through a HUGE lightening storm. It was the craziest storm any of us had ever seen- we counted at least three lightening flashes every SECOND, literally. It was forked and striking all around us. It was crazy.

Anyway, we made it there and had a fun weekend.
Here are several highlights...

Grandma always has special little cereal boxes for the kids.. they love it!

The kids always want to play in "the bucket" at Grandma's- this bucket was played in by Daddy and by Daddy's mommy!

Grandma and Leonard enjoying the kids.

Vancey-- wet and cute as can be!

Daddy and Lilah fell asleep on the swing in the backyard.

Unbeknownst to me, Jax and Alex decided it would be "funny" if they wore different, non-matching shoes to Wenatchee. I didn't find out about it until we were there... and of course hadn't packed any other shoes for them! So they wore these all weekend... even to church. Sorry Janelle! I don't know WHOSE idea it was, but I'm sure it wasn't MY kid's idea......(can you sense the sarcasm?) :>P

The drive home was slightly more difficult... 5 tired, cranky kids gave us quite a run for our money. But we made it home safely, which is the important part. And it was nice to just get out of town for a weekend.
