Summer Vacation 2009

We have been busy going places and doing things this summer. We have to get our vacationing done before the first of August because of Mac's Football schedule-which has started already. We went to Ensign Ranch in Cle Elum. It's a Ranch owned by our Church, and it has a lot of stuff to do there. Patty (Granny Bryant) booked a cabin there and off we all went. On our way there, we stopped at a fruit stand in Leavenworth.

One of the few decent pictures I get of the boys.

Lee's sister Rochel and her daughter Blaise came with us. We hadn't seen Rochel in 5 years, so it was good to spend some time with her.

One of the things to do at the Ranch is to go water sliding. It's a huge slide they built there and it's a big hit with the kids (and some of the adults), especially when it's so hot outside.

Mason, Blaise and Mac's back....waiting to go horseback riding.

Mason was thrilled he got to go ride on the horse. I had to "lead" the horse for him. We got to "ride" the horse in a big field, and not just in a corral like I thought. Somehow Mason got bored 15 minutes into it. It's a good thing it only lasted 20 minutes.

Mac rode this big Draft Horse. I didn't get a pic with Mac on it. He had a great time trail riding and said it was a really nice horse.

There was a creek that ran behind the Cabin we were staying in. Mason discovered this in no time at all. He loves water, but when the water is too cold...not so much. But it was so hot outside, he could have cared less. He had fun moving rocks, and playing in the water. All the kids did.

He also could have cared less if we was wearing his clothes. We also went to Roslyn, which was cool. I didn't get any pics of Roslyn. I'd like to go back next summer, with our bikes.
