4th of July

We managed another summer escape with Anneka and Malcolm... oh and their parents came along also.

 Rented a house in the mountains with access to a pool AND a lake.  Not sure much else is needed really.  There were bike rides and runs and cocktails and good food and little sleeping in due to two naughty but awful cute boys.

 The girls were off doing their own thing and we really didn't see much of either of them.  Malcolm and Henry are still figuring it all out.  What I mean by that is they want what the other has and have not quite figured out the playing together thing.  They have mastered the grab it and run and scream though.

At one point we looked at getting some land in this area as it is just a couple hours from Seattle.  It is full of vacation cabins/homes within a gorgeous setting but the culture here is not quite us.  Every garage and house we passed had multiple ATV, snowmobiles, four wheeler off road devices and someone was always tuning and reeving the engine of some off road vehicle.  We prefer the self propulsion method in the mountains.  It was prefect for a long weekend though.

 There was a band by the pool one night which explains the pictures here.  Lynn and I are not just crazy we are dancing.  Most were quite jealous of our moves.  HA!

Below is a brief moment where the boys managed to actually share the stroller.  Will be fun to see where they are next year in this 'friendship'.
