Trip To Aunt Tamie's

We just returned from a week long family vacation to Auburn, Washington (near Seattle). We went to visit Kip's sister Tamie, her hubby Jamie, and their kids Ashley and Andrew. It was a busy week filled with many, many fun adventures. The kids got to fly on an airplane for the first time. It was so fun to see their excitement as we took flight! We had the opportunity to spend a couple of days at the Great Wolf Lodge. What a wonderful place!! It's a "kids paradise!" It's a hotel/water park/arcade, all under one roof. Everyone should go there...it's AMAZING!! We spent some time at the Family Fun Center playing mini golf and riding go-carts. And of course...we got to have some "girl time" and go SHOPPING!! I think Bentlee ended up with 9 new outfits and 5 pairs of shoes. (I hope Kip doesn't read this) I can't help myself...a girl can't have too many shoes! It was a SUPER fun vacation!! Thanks Aunt Tamie for entertaining "the wild bunch"!!

All buckled up and ready to fly!

They couldn't wait!

This was the COOLEST hotel room ever! The kids had their own cabin...inside the hotel room!

Cute, huh!

Boo-Boo and her daddy!

Bridger...riding the waves.

Branon told us...."This is the BEST day of my life!" Oh, to be 5 again!!

(check out Brey's face in the background)

Bentlee laughed every time the water blasted her in the face! Silly girl!!

Brey and Andrew.

Brey was TOTALLY BUMMED that he wasn't tall enough to drive the go cart all by himself!

Could he be any happier?

Bridger was NOT impressed!!

Cooking smores with Uncle Jamie!

The "Bad Badminton Boys!" ("bad" still means "awesome", right?)
