Great weekend trip to Chelan!  We were blessed to be invited to the home of Mrs. Green for a little get-a-way. It was wonderful.  The weather was perfect and the kids had a blast.  We spent an afternoon at Lake Chelan (one of my favorite places to be!) where the kids played in the sand, water, and new friends.

Thank you to the beautiful Green women for having us!

Teamwork, does it get better than this?  The next picture cracks me up.  Noah spent more time chatting with Mrs. Green than he did at the beach or in the water.

Ava made a new friend.  He kept calling her "Ellie" and when I told her (quietly) that she could correct him, she said "no, I don't mind."  My sweetheart.

What is happening here?  Well, I am telling Noah that since we are at the lake he should put his deep conversation with Mrs. Green on hold for a minute and come get in the beautiful water.  1) Okay mom, got it.  2) Hula?  He's got style.  3) See, I'm getting in the water.  My fingers are wet.  4) Aaaaaaaaand that's a wrap.

What's that kids?  No, I don't have any ice-cream, who told you that?
The pictures of Ava amaze me.  She made a little friend and, after getting the thumbs up from me, off she went.  The one where she's WAY out there I just want to say that's the other girls dad out in the water.  This mama was ready to jump in too, but I wanted her to feel her independence too.  Whew, I didn't realize I'd be exercising THAT mommy muscle this weekend.  Where did my baby go?
