Vacation Part II - Chelan

Chelan was the second half of our 11 day vacation in August. This is now the third summer that the Western boys & their families gather together. It varies who can make it year to year & this was our first time at Robin's (Chris' wonderful new wife) family cabin right on Lake Chelan. It was great to be right on the lake! This year we had 5 families with a total of 10 adults & 6 kids.

We were in or around the water all day, every day!

Definitely the cutest kids on the lake.

We had one really bad night when these came through...
But fortunately Chris & Robin were equipped with a dozen different coffees for us to try, with Robin choosing the coffee for her family's new hotel in Leavenworth. Much hilarity over the taste tests ensued, but we like to think we helped pick the best coffee.

Amidst it all, we got some time to relax too -- sitting on the porch in the evenings, watching the sunset, telling stories & laughing. The ladies even went wine tasting at a winery just up the road. We had a lovely afternoon sitting in the sunshine, sipping wine & visiting. I really enjoyed this time we had to connect as friends, without our husbands or kids.

We're already looking forward to next summer's weekend with this fantastic crew!
