4th of July!



So I know this is really late but every time that I get on to do an update I get so distracted with trying to fix my pictures on photoshop that it takes me hours and I don't get anywhere and then I still don't have pictures to post. So I've started to use Picasa and I really like it for creating little collages. It helps me put a lot of pictures in one blog without it being ridiculously long. So, I hope you enjoy the update and hopefully more will soon follow!

Priest Lake....

Every year my family goes camping at Priest Lake for 4th of July. It's really the only time we ever go camping but we love it! This year we were on the windy side of the island and it wasn't very warm to begin with. We got there Friday afternoon and by Saturday afternoon we'd had enough. We spent pretty much the whole time in our tent playing games and we decided that we could do that at home where it was more like 90 degrees instead of 40. So, after we had just unpacked and boated everything over to the island we packed it all back up and headed home! I think we made a good choice because the weather never got better and we had a blast at home.

The collage includes pictures of us hiking, sleeping, and trying to stay warm in our tent!

Ephrata...

After I got home from camping with my family for the night Ryan and I decided to head over to Ephrata for some family and fireworks! We had a blast over there with everyone. Even Marilyn and Megan were home to visit! We went to the water park, had fun with fireworks, played on iPhones, and even had a pushup competition!
