Trip to Yakima

On our way to Yakima, we met my mom at the top of the pass to pick up the kids (since they had been at the cabin w/ my parents and sister). They enjoyed playing in the snow for a bit. It was like Christmas in July... not often you can have a snow ball fight in July, when it's over 85 degrees outside :)
The kids and Kyle at Mt. Rainier
We got to Yakima on Saturday and Grandpa Larry had some surprises waiting for the kids... squirt guns, a slip and slide, and a soccer ball for each of them w/ a net.

Great Grandma Esther came over for dinner Saturday night to visit with us.

Mr. Serious
The 3D Buzz Lightyear slip-n-slide. You wear these special goggles and buzz comes flying at you as you slide down the slip-n-slide. Pretty cool!
Sunday morning Gina and I went to the Farmers Market and a couple of Fruit stands... and Grandpa Larry took the kids on a ride on his golf cart. Carter particularly enjoyed this!

Playing in the sprinklers
See... HOT... and this thermometer is in the shade all day.

That is so funny, the kids standing around in shorts and t's in the snow!!! How crazy, but cool too.

And it looks like you has a great visit with Kyle's family. I like the photo of you and Kyle and that 3D slip and slide looks fun!

That is the slip n slide I saw at Target that made me think of your kids. :) How funny! Another cute picture of you and Kyle! :)
