Last Hoo-Rah of the Summer

We spent Labor Day weekend up at Lake Kachess with our friends, Matt and Kristie, and their 3 kids. It was so fun, and a much needed getaway from normal life. Jake was very torn because his Fantasy Football draft was Sunday night, and there is no Internet up in the mountains. But, his very gracious brother agreed to draft for him, with Jake leading him over the phone, and in his own words, he has "The Best Team Ever." The weather was a little chilly, so we couldn't really get in the water. We took a fun hike, played many games of Ticket to Ride, ate lots of yummy food, and just vegged out and relaxed. Thanks for a wonderful time, friends!!

Quite a view, huh!

Throwing rocks in the lake

The boys chatting

The kids loved being outside, and relishing the last bit of summer

Trail Hiking. So pretty!

Silly girly

Picking Huckleberries. Yummy!

Kristie, and little M

The kids had their own playroom downstairs complete with bunk beds, toys, and video games. It was nice to not have to worry about them, while the adults hung out.

Here's us!

Fun! Too bad it wasn't better weather. Cute pictures too! For some reason I thought you went up to Lopez. Either way, it's still fun to get away! Glad you had a good time!
