Our weekend in Chelan

Terence's Mom and Dad have been asking us for about three years now to go to Lake Chelan for a weekend with them. The last two times they have asked I have been pretty pregnant and not up to taking a long car ride over the mountains. This time around I was not pregnant and both of the boys are old enough that it sounded like a fun idea. Friday afternoon we left around 2:00pm. The drive over to Chelan on highway 2 was beautiful!! The leaves on the mountains are changing and the colors were amazing! It took us about 2 and half hours to get there which is the perfect amount of time for the boys in the car (any longer than that and they start losing patience). We got to the hotel and checked in, Terence's parents reserved the penthouse suite it was as big as our house. I kept thinking the whole time how fun it would be to go there with everyone. Here are a few pictures from the trip.

Terence jumping on the bed in our room when we got there.This is the bed that we were supposed to sleep in. Note the crib in front of it. Connor and Corey both did not sleep at all the first night! Terence ended up sleeping here.I had to stay in the other room with the boys since they both wanted me. They were up from 1:10am until 3:45am and then they both woke up at 7:00am. This is what I looked like in the morning. HAHA!

We went for a walk on the beach after breakfast the first morning and a really nice women took a picture of all of us. Connor got sand in his eye right before the picture was taken but I really like how it turned out.

During the day Terence's Dad and Terence went and played golf. Terence's Mom and I ended up sitting on the balcony all day watching the world go by. It was a coincidence that they were having an at antique hydro event on the lake right outside our room. Connor called them the noisy boats since they were super loud. He had a great time watching them.

They got the boats in and out of the water with a huge crane.Before the trip we bit the bullet and bought a new camera. Connor and I were playing with the self portrait mode.Keenan family portrait...we were laying on the floor.This morning Terence's Dad (Pop as Connor calls him) took Connor over to Starbucks and bought him a hot chocolate. They sat out on the balcony and drank it while they looked for ducks and for some reason bears.

The trip was a lot of fun! We are planning on going back and doing it again next year.

Sounds like you had a lot of fun. Looks cold though. I can't tell if the cushions on the bed are super cute or hideously ugly? Oh well...I'm voting super cute. Maybe I should enlarge the picture and look again.

Darn it...it didn't work (enlarging the picture) so you'll have to tell me.
