Lake Wenatchee

Again to the Leavenworth Chronicles! It's the only vacation we've had in two months so BACK OFF! April thinks that you guys don't care that much but I don't see her posting too many posts up in here. In fact, go through the list of posts and see how many she's done. Go ahead... I'll wait... Yup, you guessed it: None. Zilch. Nada. The Fatty Nil. Zero. Do you ever notice how the all the words that mean "nothing" all begin with Z or N? That's crazy peoples.

We went back to Lake Wenatchee later in the week and it was absolutely gorgeous! The best part was that there was amazing weather in a place where there is also snow. How often does this happen on the west side of the mountains? Never. Not at all. Zippo. You get the idea. So we did like any other normal people would do and allowed our two year old to play around in the lake. There are times where we actually had her in the stroller and parading around the park as you'll see, but aren't the moments where you can capture the embarrassing High School graduation pictures the ones you have to capture? I say yes. So here are our attempts at capturing those moments... and it didn't happen. She's the cutest kid on Earth! How are we supposed to compete with that? Here ya go:

That's snow behind us on the ground & melted in our mouths.

It's a beautiful day in the mountains and V knows where to have fun.

Dad: What are you doing down there V?
V: I heard on TV that if you dig far enough you can reach China.

Dad: What are you pointing at V?
V: I took off my coat because it was hot and it fell down the hole.

Dad: Why did you take off your pants?
V: I'm protesting the hat Mom just put on me and if I'm going to catch this fish, I need clean pants later to fillet it.

Dad: How big was that fish you just caught?
V: This big!
Dad: That's my girl! 

Mini Golf

Remember when I told you that there were a whole bunch of posts for our Leavenworth trip? "WHERE ARE THEY?" the masses cried! Well, I really don't know. We had a bunch of blah blah blah and a few yadda yadda yadda so we're not really sure. The cool thing is that we get to read it now! Due to the nice weather we decided to see if two-year-olds can mini golf. Well, the answer is... Sort of. We had a great time teaching her about gamesmanship, fair play, the value of sports in everyday life, the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. The great thing about it is that we have these great pictures cataloging the event. Here we go down the amazing road of mini golf:

V: So they tell me I have to put the ball here on this mat.

V: Then I just hit it into this hole? That seems easy enough!

V: Wait a second, what's with this sand box in the middle of the green?

V: What's with this giant rock? Forget it! Where's my ball?

V: See Mom? This is way easier than hitting it with the stick.

V: Picture with Mom and a hole in one! That makes ME the winner!
