Vacation- Is this supposed to be fun?

Well, I am begg. to think that maybe I need a 12 passenger van! I don't think the Pilot is big enough for road trips. The seats are still within striking distance. WE enjoyed Silverwood... and stayed on a lake! I thought of it as camping the REED STYLE! Friday morning we scrambled out of bed cause Ben thought it was 9:45 and Silverwood opened at 11am. Only to find out in the car that it was actually only 8AM!! No wonder I had such a hard time waking up! So we went on a hike (no bears attacked us) and played outside. It was beautiful... and we enjoyed it. We really liked Silverwood. There was a lot of fun water rides, and cotton candy (yes!). We watched a magic show shile we ate pizza. There were not lot of people in line... so that was nice. Ben was bummed at first cause Parker and his friend were hesitant riding the coasters. Finally, they gave in and started to ride them. Sean and Amanda came up Friday and Saturday and brought Frodo. Poor Frodo..... attacked by my kids. It was fun.... and everyone slept on the way back! Thanks heavens!!!

Gymnastics Show

Ella's gym. show was fun. I love it when they do the vault! It amazes me... I was never a gymnast but always am captivated by the things they do. She loves gym. and she has the gymnastic legs to prove it! Where can I order that muscle on my legs??

More Gray hair??

So I am a little frustrated at trying to figure this out! So this slideshow will have to work till I can figure out how to put pictures instead! Also, I tried to download music... this just isn't my talent!! ARRGGHH... the cat in the slideshow is what I feel like right now.

Ella's photography

Ella kept bugging me to scrapbook .. so I decided to buy her her own scrapbook and she can do it herself. My scrapbook stuff is still (gasp) packed in a box. I found this digital camera and gave it to her so she could take pictures to scrapbook. I'm sure these will keep us entertained!

The Returned Check

We received a letter from the Washigton State Account Board that our check had been returned! Keep in mind that Ben was applying for his CPA license. I guess they probably had a good chuckle about that. In my defense, I have to say that the bank accidently canceled all of our checks on this particular account. Now $35 dollars later.... I am proud to say that Ben is CPA certified!!
