Yikes it's been a while!

Ok in my defense, I have none! It's been a month since we took our trip to Washington and I haven't blogged a word about it! Not because the drive was too long or the kids weren't fun or our biennial sisters weekend wasn't AWESOME, it's because I just have TOO MANY PICTURES! And it would be really hard to just select a few and too monstrous to pick them all. So I've been putting it off, but no more! First the low down, then the pics: We drove to Medford, OR and stayed with my sister for the night, went on to Washougal, WA the next day and stayed with my parents for the week. We played with my nephews, went shopping, and hung out with the family. Thursday my sisters and I traveled back to Medford for our sisters weekend. Which involves just us girls, all six of us, doing whatever we want to with no kids, husbands, or jobs to worry about. We had a great time "camping" (in yurts, basically cabins with beds and heaters), eating, shopping, touring the Harry and David's headquarters, and we had "sisters" pictures taken for our mom. Then Dustin (who stayed with my folks those two days) drove down with Damen and picked me up to head home. It was a great week and now, lots of pictures!!


Beautiful sun shot outside of San Bernardino (not really part of the "trip" but we were on our way!)



Handsome cousins, Kaden, Zack and Damen near Lacamas Lake, we took them for a hike. Isn't Washington freaking beautiful!


Great Grandpa Suggs, me and Damen



The semi-automatic lego rifle Dustin spent a day making. The boys were "booming" eachother with lego guns and Dustin had to outdo them, of course, what else was there to do?



Crazy squirrel taking a BATH in our ashes.



Harry and Davids tour bus!



MMMM Popcorn, delicious, scrumptious, Moose Munch popcorn!!



The following are pictures of my BEAUTIFUL sisters:)

Kari, Christi, Traci, Jodi, Lori and Me

Silliness around the campfire:




The next morning we took a ton of pictures in our "camp shirts" (shirts my dad had made for us) but none of mine turned out. ON that note here's one last shot of Damen and Robert, cute cousin buddies!





PS Stuff has happened since this, Damen had a gymnastics performance, we went to Disneyland and Dustin took Damen to Father's and Sons campout, but that's for a later date, maybe tomorrow:)
