extra long weekend

We had an extra long weekend around here.
It started Thursday early morning.
Every year Josh's work has summer regional for all the
advisers and their families. We stay in nice hotels, they feed us, 
they plan a few family activities, advisers have meetings, spouses have
two meetings and their is an award dinner Saturday night. In the afternoons
their is plenty of free time to relax, swim or adventure out to explore.
This year it was in Stevenson, Wa and they stayed at the Ska Mania Lodge.
I was unable to go with Josh and the kids because I too was up early but I headed 
to the hospital to be there for the birth of my sister's baby Ezra!
More on that soon I promise! It was raining pretty hard on the drive down.
They made a lunch stop at Mcdonalds and also checked out the Nike outlet store.


The next day after Josh had his morning meetings he took them
out on a hike. Jordan loved sitting and watching a passing train.




They also checked out the Bonneville Lock and Dam.






That evening they had a bbq outside along with a baseball game and s'mores.




More meetings for Josh the next morning.
I did get a call from Michelle telling me Jordan was
bouncing off the wall after his DS died. Being the awesome
big sister she is she let Jordan watch garbage truck you tube
videos on her computer. 
  On their way to the pool they ran into Jake Locker.


That night Josh had his award dinner.  It was a mardi gras theme
so everyone wore masks and beads. Yes that is the seat I should have been 
sitting in. Next year I will be there!


Sunday is pack up all your stuff and come home day.
Josh wanted to take them by Mt. St. Helen's on the way home.











They didn't get back until 7.
I dinner almost ready for them.
After that Michelle was dying to meet Ezra
so we rode bikes to her house for a quick visit.




Today Jordan started Kids camp at North County Christ the King.
He will continue that through Thursday.
He has summer baseball tonight (fingers crossed) and Thursday night.
Michelle is off to a friends house to spend the night.
We are going to try and fit in a few of our activities on our fun in the sun
list through out the week!
