OUR WEEKEND

We headed up North for a night this past weekend to attend a wedding in Blaine, Washington. We met up with Stacy, Mike, Megan and Alex in Bellingham and spent the night at a hotel with them. There's not a lot to do up there (especially when it's cold) but we managed to find plenty to keep up busy and had fun doing it!

First, we went bowling. It was Cameron, Rena and Maleah's first time bowling. They would all push the ball down the lane and turn around and run back as fast as they could to where we were all sitting. A couple of times Rena & Maleah's balls didn't even make it all the way down to the pins, but they didn't care -- they still thought it was great.

Next, we went swimming. The pool at the hotel wasn't very big, but luckily there weren't many people there. Plus, it wasn't hard to clear the pool out. When people saw our group coming (with 5 kids) they cleared out pretty quick!

It was a beatiful day on the day of the wedding so we went over to The Semiahmoo Resort where the wedding was and went out by the water. Only problem was that it was cold! The kids only got to throw rocks for about 30 seconds and then it was time to head back indoors. Of course it wasn't the kids who wanted to go back indoors, but the parents!

And lastly, we made it to the wedding. The groom, Erick Roff, is an old family friend from Puyallup. Our mom's were best friends, The Roff girls were in Stacy & Mike's wedding and Stacy & I both (Stacy more than I) did some babysitting for them when they were little. So, everyone was a little bit tired by the time the wedding started (Rena and Maleah actually slept through the ceremony) but it was a beautiful wedding and reception we were glad to be there celebrating!
