Memorial Week-End

We were all in separate places for Saturday and Sunday, but we all had fun too!

Dave stayed home in Wenatchee with Presley, who had her first week-end of lifeguard duties up at the Chelan Waterslides.

Harper was invited to go camping overnight with her classmate and a few other families from Saturday to Sunday, and she had the BEST time! Camping, boating, biking, and just playing outdoors. It was a wonderful week-end for her.

They stopped at Stemilt for ice-cream on Sunday, after Dave picked her up from Lake Entiat.

Ry, Logan, and I drove to the Tri-Cities to visit with everyone one last time before Logan leaves again.

We got to see Papa and Betty's new apartment, visit with Cristy and Grandma Kreider, who is in rehab for her broken hip, and had dinner and played cards with the Lindholm's.
