More May!

I know - it's June, not May. But awhile back I promised to post more pictures about our busy spring. And May was crazy busy! So, as I said then, I'll post one event at a time until I get them all done!

We spent Mother's Day weekend with Nana and Papa, Robyn and Kim, Erin and Ali, and Aunt Coy in the Methow Valley at this beautiful cabin in Carlton. The cabin was originally a family home so had everything we needed to be cozy and comfortable. 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, fully equipped kitchen, comfortable living room, game room, sun porch, long deck, media loft room, hot tub, pool (in the form of a pond!), shelves of games and books, bar-b-que......wow!

 



This pond was filled with filtered water and became the cabin's pool. The kids braved the cool water and floated on the pond in our kayak and a blowup boat.

Our Mother's Day started with this yummy brunch that was created by all of us.

The primary reason my parents rented the cabin for us all was due to this tremendous accomplishment. Robyn has been training for this marathon for quite some time and this was the weekend she completed the run. The Sunflower Relay and Marathon is a difficult run in the mountains on the edge of the Cascades. Robyn ran the marathon and Kim and Ali were part of a relay team. All 3 runners were so motivating and inspirational. Dylan wants to put together a relay team for next year!

Our family has had so much to celebrate recently. This weekend became the perfect opportunity for this celebration. We were so happy together that the kids both cried when it was time to go. Made it hard for me to leave as well!
