Family vaca on Lake Wenatchee

In mid August I was lucky enough to get away for a girls weekend in Chelan for 4 whole days! This has become an annual tradition for a group of us gals and each year we seem to add an additional day on to our trip. Eventually I'm sure it will be a week long! The good news is we had an awesome time, the bad news is I did not bring my camera to capture all the fun! We had lots of time at the beach each day, enjoyed many yummy cocktails, ate delicious food, and had two fun nights out, which included some great Kareokee! 
Right after that little getaway Orlin and the boys had rented a little cabin right on Lake Wenatchee and headed over on the Sunday when we gals were heading out of town, so I just got dropped off there and had an additional 4 days with the family, which was super fun. Orlin brought his little fishing boat and he and Noah were up at the crack of dawn three mornings in a row and caught a total of 19 salmon! The weather was great, however it is pretty darn windy there, which made it feel a little chilly at times, but we had fun playing on the beach and relaxing as a family for those few days. My in laws headed over and stayed for a day and half, which was a treat for us and Orlin Sr. got to do some fishing with the guys and Sue, (my MIL) and I got to head into Leavenworth for a day of shopping and dining. All and all a great trip. When we left Thursday we figured we may as well head back to Chelan for the weekend and make the most of our trip, so we did just that and had some more fun swimming, sunning, and Noah even went on his first tube ride!

nice buns! This was the begining of some potty training on this trip. He refused to keep his pants on when we were outside, so we just went with it and so far he is going # 1 and an occasional #2 in the big potty! Such a big boy!
