Weekend in Quincy

Last weekend our family drove out to Quincy, WA to attend our nephew Skyler's high school graduation. His graduation was on the 5th and then his graduation party was going to be on the 13th - the following saturday. We thought it was more important to be at his graduation and not attend the party.

Well, when we got there we had such a nice time - we decided to drive back out the following week and overnight it, that way we could attend the party and spend more time with our brother David and his fiance Janet. We LOVE Janet ... she is so funny and since meeting her has always been so caring -and just so easy to get on with. Anyways, we left Kent at about 7:45am and made our way to Quincy - it was a really nice drive - the roads were open, the weather not too hot, not too cold and we got into to Quincy at about 9:50am - we did a quick stop at Mcds to pick up breakfast and then headed out to David's house to have breakfast with him and Janet and to chill ! After breakfast the kids were thrilled that David bought out his four wheelers for them to ride .... these kids were on cloud 9 - you'd think they had ridden these things their whole life the way they were on them.

Anyways, at about 12:45pm we started getting dress to take the kids to the Aquatic center (they opened at 1pm) - they loved that ! Being from the island it is only natural to LOVE being in water - but living in washington where it is more cold than hot - it is not something we do often. The kids had a BLAST at the pool - not only was it cheap (it was $ 2.50 for children and $3.50 for adults - and you could stay as long as you wanted) but it also had a concession stand and the stuff was also cheap so that worked out great and we just bought snacks for the kids there for lunch ! We left the pool at about 4 because we needed to get home and get ready for the graduation party.

The party was nice - they had it outside - we got to meet alot of David's friends and Family and I had a good time visiting with Joyce (David's Mom), her sister and a cousins wife (I'll get their names and put them in). After the party we went home and the kids were exausted (thank goodness) - oh, and so were the adults - so we put them to bed and followed not too long after. Sunday we got up to David and Janet making us breakfast - after breakfast we hung out while the older boys went with their Uncle David to clean up and put away the tables and chairs that were used for the party. We had gone to the store to pick up an "emergency" replacement part for something in David's house and when we got back the kids were out four wheeling (yes on a sunday - those sinners) - I thought they were making foolish choices and told Lulu she need to get them in - I think Lele was the leader of that pack !

Anyways, we finally left to drive back at about 3pm and got back to Kent at about 5:54 ( traffic was bad) - and althhough it was good to be home - we miss David & Janet ! Thanks again for everything !!!
