Lake Chelan 2020

Here we are in Chelan.

 

 

Tuesday..travel day.. always through Leavenworth

We all met up there by the sausage place.

Yes, we kept our distance… our orders were takeout…picnic tables provided along the street

 

The view from our deck 

Dinner at the lake  ( our condo ) ... ribs and corn on the cob

This is going to be hard to leave...but, it is just beinning

Wednesday

Typical morning bonding 

First day. Nita's pancakes for breakfast.

Gave the littles their “money boxes” $5. Each and a pack of gum. Not a lot, but gives a feeling of importance.  

Most of us walked into the market.

Peaches, nectarines, ..

Me? Bouquet and an apron

One little person was disappointed that he did not join the group. Misunderstanding

 

One little person came up to the door and when he walked inside he said to himself.”that looks different” and then he started upstairs when a lady looked down and said hello...
 OH, he said, I ‘m sorry, I got the wrong house “

 

Casual day.... figuring out where the best place is for napping.

Bug control man arrived..

Walk over to Wapato for dinner.

20 minute wait,First a big swing with Sebastian..He always gets higher.

then  I sat in the grass with Tanner and oops, white pants not white and not dry. Good thing I had my longish sweater on.

Sat at two tables. My treat tonight

 

Everyone tired. Off to bed by 9:30. So I watched blue bloods ( tiff had recorded). Could not figure out how to change / continue, so it just turned to infomercials

60’s music  I remember those songs, and recognize the artists
Then 70’s music. Not much recall.

Off to bed.

 

Part I

After spending a long time editing and adding photos and such, Chelan 2020 was almost ready to post.  Then..gone..vanished.  Not sure what I did...hope I never do it again.

So, starting over and will be content with making chapters.. 
Some things I for sure want to remember for next time...others, maybe not.

Enjoy ! 

Our latest journey

( Hi Marti )

Time to journal some of the highlights of our latest  "adventures"

For several years, Tiffany has organized a "family" gathering at Lake Chelan
Every year the group is a little different, but every year, at least the 5 of us are there.

Though we left on Sunday,  the day before was quite a celebration 
Our friend for many years, Vern Reid, turned 90.
So, with the help of his two daughters we had a party.

Sad to say I did not get very many pictures.  Playing hostess was a full time job. But, Becca got a great collection and it is on facebook.

It was a wonderful  party. Birthday boy arrived and asked for a cup of coffee and a piece of cake. 
 He wanted to try all four flavors.    and he did.


The next morning we headed to Chelan
We usually stop in Leavenworth for lunch along the way.   

We discovered this little place and like it well enough to stop again 
The rest of the group stopped for brats
They also made a fast stop, a very fast stop when little man lost his brat 

Lake Chelan Here we come  

This is the view from our deck. Spectacular.   

Another tradition is breakfast at the Blueberry Farm  

Can you spot the pickers?   

Not our usual agenda, but Tiffany had done the homework and we found quite a surprise at the library  

Magic show....very entertaining....
and some facts connected to the universe  

Little man in red was amazed  

Window view of the bridge
the signs says no jumping
someone always jumps

And no room for dessert.

Why start a puzzle with 2000 pieces ??
I like puzzles   

Recipe for day two morning 

and the game begins..
and

have you heard of Duolingo?

This is how you learn Spanish 

This is how you spend vacation time 

Can't get away from it....red cars stick together   



Another stop we always hit..... BBQ 

The cows are new....  We do not know how long they will last

Two favorites made the climb   

We take a walk to the public dock and  Shaved Ice Stand
                                           A favorite view along the way 

First time for everything ( Grammy ) ....  shaved ice on a hot day...OK





Another walk 
    And this time, no bees  

Another tradition....three on three

adventure documented with a shoe photo
family with a perfect stranger  

Looks like I didn't get very far...but, that's how it works when no one else likes puzzles  and I enjoyed every minute. 

I took it apart and left it for the next family.  



And then it was time to head back to Bellevue for the two of us
But that is another story 





We live an exciting life.... and busy
