Believe it or not, this is hiking in the evergreen state! On our way home we stopped to explore Lake Lenore Caves. We were sure glad to get back to our air conditioned cars! (spoiled, aren't we)

We even saw these "pipe people" guarding the gate! They had a friendly look about them so we took thier picture.

Our Grand Coulee trip wouldn't be complete without visiting the windmill garden!

Yes, this is a generic "everyone gather for a picture" picture but, if you only knew . . . what it took to figure out the timer on the camera and then racing back to be in the picture and we are all controlling our giggles!

To celebrate the last day of school we went with our friends (yes, we have friends), the Fowles family, to Grand Coulee Dam to see the laser light show.

Natalie goes to Forks

We had a great weekend on the Olympic Peninsula!

Look what we found in Port Angeles! It's the restaurant where Edward and Bella had their first date. After a busy day in Forks we were hungry, so . . . yes, you guessed it! We ate at "Bella Italia"!

Then there was the drive over to La Push . . . where we were safe from VAMPIRES!

Uh . . . does every girl dream of driving and old (very old) red pickup?

We followed the Hospital sign through town and guess what? More smiles and giggles erupted!

Natalie will be a freshman this Fall . . . will there be an "Edward" at her High School?????

Our giggley 13 year old found the Cullen's mailbox. Here she is rubbing it (much like one would rub a magic lamp) perhaps hoping Edward would appear?!

Memorial Weekend was all about Natalie . . . and she is a "Twilight" fan! So off to the Olympic Peninsula we went. Bary was a great dad, driving his little girl everywhere her heart desired!
