Lakes, races, grapes, wheat and dirt

Okay...so I'm starting to get a little sad because summer vacation is almost over and we'll be heading back to school in less than 2 weeks. However, we are still packing in lots of outdoor activities, lake visits and good times!

This morning Matt competed in the Sterling Savings Bank Sprint-Triathlon. The race consisted of a quarter mile swim, 11 mile bike ride and 3 mile run. He did awesome and we were all there to cheer him on. Of course when the race was over, Andrew and Abby found the dirt and had just as much fun getting dirty! Way to go Matt!









The four of us, along with grandpa and grandma made a quick trip to Lake Chelan for a family reunion. While we were there we had a chance to see Four Lakes Winery where my cousin Rhett is working this summer. The kids loved walking through the grape fields and exploring with Rhett. We also loved swimming in the clear, beautiful water of Chelan.







My good friend Courtney was in town with her beautiful children so we went out to the farm to spend the day. The kids had so much fun playing in the fields, feeding the horses, playing in the hay stack, eating fresh carrots out of Shelley's yummy garden and riding in the tractor with uncle Vernon. I love being out in the country and so do Andrew and Abigail!










Andrew and Abigail got a hold of my camera and took this picture of themselves. How cute!



We had another fun day at Diamond Lake. The kids played in the water and sand and the ladies sat in the sun all day. What could be better?
