Family Vacation to Washington

I know, I'm posting this a little late! At the end of June we went up to Washington to celebrate Derek's grandpa's 93rd birthday. Here is a little photo recap.

After a long drive on the first day to Kennewick, we decided to go a little further and visit my cousin Channing and her family in Vancouver, WA.


We were only there for one full day so we kept our activities close to home! We had a picnic at a park and then let the kids play!
Here is Channing and the two babies. Daxton and Davey are only a couple months apart!


This park didn't have the normal swings/slide combo. It had very unconventional playground fun! This one was the favorite. Derek would make it spin really fast and give the kids rides on it! It was all fun and games until Braedon flew off it!


After a fun couple of days with Channing's family, we headed back to Kennewick to play with more family that had arrived for Grandpa's party. We went to a water park by the Columbia river with Derek's brother Randy. Thankfully he was able to show Braedon how to have a good time!



Daxton had fun too, of course!


And here is the man of the hour! Happy Birthday Great Grandpa! We love you!


Now, according to the fact that there is no more pictures to share you would think our trip was over...NOT TRUE!
As we were traveling home from Washington, my parents were getting a uhaul trailer and driving up to Boise to meet us. Once in Boise we picked up our piano that my Great Aunt so kindly gave to us! We love it! (one day I will actually take a picture of it so everyone can see!)

Side note: I know I have slacked, but I have lots more pictures from the summer to post so stay tuned! And I promise it will be sooner than later!
