We had a wonderful trip to Yakima to see my family. We all flew up there on Wednesday the 6th and spent the rest of the week having fun with all my family together. Jared flew home early Monday morning to make it back to work. The kids and I stayed until Saturday the 16th to spend a little more time visiting. Mackayla had a hard time without her Daddy around. Grandpa, Grandma and Heather were a great help, but I was exhausted by the time I flew home with the kids. I'm really glad we were able to stay longer though and let the kids spend more time at G&G's house. I took a lot of pictures of the fun times we had, so here's a little photo album of the trip.
The Tree's are always so nice to let us come and swim at their house. We spent one evening there.
Mackayla got to play a little tennis with her cousins, Jackson and Jaden
Bradley loved playing in the rocks
Bradley taking a nap with his Daddy. Bradley woke up, looked around, crawled over, and fell right back to sleep on Jared's stomach. It was pretty cute!
Heather, being the wonderful aunt that she is, loves filling up water balloons for the kids to throw. She had filled up many buckets of balloons. I guess she had done an even bigger batch before we had arrived. She's amazing!
Jared had a fun time throwing the water balloons with the kids also.
This is just a picture of the kids hanging out in Grandma's living room. Grandma and Grandpa were amazingly calm and patient as things were a little chaotic in their home for a week.
Meagan and Mackayla playing the piano
We spent Saturday at Vantage, a part of the Columbia River. We had a picnic and took turns going out on Grandpa's boat.
They had this three person tube that we were able to give the kids an easy ride on when they were in the middle. I'm still not sure if Mackayla liked it or not. She showed some mixed emotions. I wish I had a video to show everyone the wild ride I was taken on in which I was wildly thrown out into the raging wild waters. It was wild!

It was a perfect day in the shade.

Bradley and Mitchell had matching pajamas so I had to get a picture.

Wearing the Bell dress - such a pretty girl!
We tried to get a picture of us with Grandma Davenport. We were so glad we got to see her this last week!
