Family Vacation

Our annual family vacation to Spectacle Lake was much needed and much deserved this summer! We've been coming here with our friends Nancy Warwick, Marsha Saar & the Schwisow family for 14 summers now, but this summer was extra memorable because we weren't sure if my mom was going to be able to go. She got the go ahead from all her doctors and spent 2 amazing weeks lounging around in the sun, floating on the lake and beating all of us at cribbage! The weather was in the 90's to low 100's everyday and we had a couple lightning and thunder storms at night.

The newlyweds (Mac & Taryn) were able to come over for a whole 10 days. Mac rearranged his work schedule and drove his motorcycle over. I can't wait for Skye and Kayleigh to be a part of our family vacation next year. We have big plans for Kayleigh to learn how to waterskii, but I think we will ease her into it with some fun tubing next year.

Yes I'm loving being engaged! Of course it would be much more wonderful to have my handsome fiance here and not clear across the world, but God has put us on this road for a reason and I wouldn't change a thing about this journey. It was great to be on vacation for 2 weeks with both my wedding planners, we took full advantage of this :)

Our great friends Brad & Heidi Anderson drove over from Chelan to hang out for the day. Taryn has been friends with their daughter Hailey for years and we were sad she wasn't able to make it with them. Maybe next year Hailey, we would love to see you!

Yes it is the summer of LOVE! My sister Taryn was married May 29th, our good friend Angie Schwisow is marrying Philip Myer next July 4th and Skye & I are getting married next August 27th. Our mom's are all really enjoying the wedding planning process and we look forward to many years to come of family vacationing to Spectacle Lake with our growing families. We had a wonderful family vacation with all our friends and my mom came back feeling tan, very relaxed and ready to start up her treatments again.
