It has been over 500 days since all three kids had all-day school. DeA is beside herself with excitement that they are all back this year. An 8th grader, a 6th grader, and a 4th grader.
We've kind of created a tradition where we spend a few nights up in Stehekin every year with the kids. They are always excited to go, which hopefully doesn't change as they get into being teenagers.
We took evening walks
Ate a lot of delicious food
Hiked 95% of the way to Bridge Creek, but had to turn around because some of the group didn't want to eat the sack lunches that were packed and wanted to get back for the hot lunch at the Ranch.
Ryker had medium rare prime rib and made fun of his mom's well done heel (that was put on the grill for another 5 minutes)
Rock had quiet time to do some drawing.
They tried to play croquet without knowing the rules. Spoiler alert: it didn't end well.
We went on a family horse ride.
It was really pretty.
DeA ended up at the end of our group and ate quite a bit of dust.
We did about 7 miles round-trip with a stop at Howard Lake.
That's a good looking cowgirl.
You know it's a good trip when Rock runs out of gas.
Fun memories
