Apple Blossom

We were so excited to spend a week in Manson!  Stewart and I left the kids with my parents so we could enjoy an anniversary trip to Leavenworth. We love our anniversary trips and I'm so happy we make a point to go on a kid-free trip once a year, even if it is just a couple nights.


We got to "help" catch/save/help a swarm of bees in the orchard. We tried our best to cover up so we wouldn't get stung. Meanwhile, dad was in shorts and a polo. Not surprising! 













Darell did not mind this wonderful set up...


It was so fun to show the kids some of my favorite things to do in Manson like going through sprinklers in the orchard and, of course, the lake! 






As a thank you to my parents for watching our kids we got them a fun game for them to play with their grandkids... 






Aunt Emily, or as the kids like to call her "our friend", made edible play dough with the kids. They loved that you could make something fun to play with out of candy. 


This year was my 10 year anniversary for Apple Blossom and I took my whole family up to Washington. Stewart insisted that he and the kids had to be there for the special event. I will admit, I was feeling a little silly going back to wear a crown, sash, and ride in a parade at 28 years old. But, as soon as I saw Marci and Kelsey and we started talking, I got excited and was happy to be there! 










Finishing the trip at Willow Point with cousins and a helicopter ride was a perfect ending to the trip!
