Chill Time

This summer was jam-packed with activity, but we found ourselves longing for a bit more downtime. So we hatched a plan for a few days of camping and hanging with friends in Leavenworth. We figured we'd throw in the crash pad, in case we found a few moments to boulder, but the goal was to just hang out and relax a bit.

We got to 8-mile campground in the evening, enjoyed dinner, and then we all rolled into bed. Brandon had to work the next day, so he got up at 3am and rode his bike down Icicle Creek Road to meet up with a coworker to carpool into work.



Quite randomly, as we were heading out the door to Leavenworth, my good friend Steph had called to say she and her family were going on a roadtrip and they were wondering if we would be home for a visit. I told her that we were actually going to be in Leavenworth, to which she replied, "That's a perfect middle stopping point for us!" So, after morning nap, I was thrilled to have a visit with Steph & Craig and their four lovely children.

After Steph and her family left, Hilary and Callum rolled in and set up camp with us. We fed the babies, gave the babies bottles, played with the babies, fed the babies again, changed diapers, and walked around the campground. It was a good day of much-needed relaxing.

the bouldering pad turned out to be a great place for the kiddos to play

Yay for bubbles! 

We did manage a few boulder problems...but it was stinking hot.
