Wenatchee

We arrived! A month ago. And are still unpacking. Does it ever end? We found a nice little condo to call home and are enjoying it immensely. We got here just in time to head to Chelan convention and then travelled to MT the next weekend for Ronan. The weather has started to warm up beautifully here and we have had a little time to get out and enjoy the area.

We spent a Saturday in Chelan visiting the Sandersons, and got to do some waterskiing. Wade's little squished cheeks are just too cute!

Tristan is a spectacular boat driver.

Jason looks so happy when he skis. You'd never know he loves it.

Last week we hiked 8 Mile Lake Trail out of Leavenworth. It was perfect for a day hike. We can't wait to go back and try a few more trails!

Farewell Chicago

My younger brothers flew out for Jason's graduation and drove our second vehicle back across the states. It was their first time visiting Chicago so we spent a few days showing them our favorite places. I don't think they were quite as excited as I was to see advertisements for Montana everywhere. Quite a few of the buses as well as train cars are painted with photos from Glacier Park.

And of course we broke down. The alternator went out on our car in the-middle-of-nowhere Montana. So rather than waiting days for a new alternator to come in we rented a dolly, hooked it up to our truck, and towed the car home to Barnes Welding.
