Our trip to Yakima

We went on our one big summer vacation trip to Yakima last week to see my family. We had a great time and can't believe its over. We've got nothing to do now but prepare and wait for our baby to be born. The kids and I flew into Washington on Tuesday morning and Jared left Thursday afternoon to drive up and join us. We all drove home together the following Tuesday/Wednesday. We loved being able to spend time with family and Jared was so glad just to get away from work and our sprinkler system for a few days!
I took a ton of pictures so here's our great big photo albumn of the trip.

On our way to the airport- The kids loved having their own backpacks with them for the journey.
The kids got to spend a lot of time hanging out with their cousins.
(Mitchell, Jaden, Jackson, Logan, Mackayla, and Bradley)

The kids loved swimming in Grandpa and Grandma's pool.

Mackayla and Grandpa soaking up some sun.

Bradley learning to drive.


G &G's new bounce house, a definite highlight.
My dad was using another dentist's office for an hour to check my mom's teeth so Mackayla and I tagged along and Mackayla got to have Grandpa look at her teeth.


The kids loved (especially Bradley) the bee at the Country Buffet, the place Grandma Davenport likes to take everyone.


Another day spent by the pool.

Aunt Heather always fills hundreds of water balloons for the kids.


We had a little Michael Jackson dance contest and the kids all loved dancing to the music.


We got to spend the 4th of July at the Tree's house which is always a fun treat!
The kids couldn't get enough of the pool.

They also had this big water slide that Bradley was a huge fan of!






A little nap with Aunt Heather after lunch.


Aunt Sharon showing the kids her baby lambs and goats.


My family sang Happy Birthday to Jared and gave him some spontaneous gifts since it was his birthday month.

They really were great gifts!

Waving goodbye to Grandpa and Grandma Hatfield. Thanks so much for letting us visit and showing us such a good time! We can't wait to come again next year!!

Looks like a lot of fun times in Yakima! I love the picture of Mackayla getting her teeth checked by Grandpa. Cool MJ party.

We're glad you guys could come...too long between visits though! Once/year is not enough.
