washington trip by Blakley




I went up to Washington with grandpa a couple of weeks ago. grandpa was going up to meet Uncle Brad & Breck so they could go fishing in Cananda. I stayed with Aunt Vicki & Uncle Scott's family for about two weeks. We got there Wednesday evening. I had brought up all of the Harry Potter movies cause I knew Dallin liked them our goal for the time I was there was to watch all of them. We started the first one but i was so tired i fell asleep within the first 5 mins. We finished it the next morning. That day we really didn't do anything. grandpa and Brad &breck left early the next morning. That afternoon Alyssa came back from girls camp. the next day was Saturday . We went swimming and then dropped Dallin off at the house & did a little shopping.We went to Plato's closet & Old Navy. On sunday we went to church then had a delicious dinner. MOnday Aunt Vicki dropped Alyssa & I at the mall we ate lunch first. Alyssa introduced me to thai food. niether of us finished so we carried it in boxes around the stores. the first store we went to was bath & body we had fun trying on the lipglosses & deceided to come back a buy them if we had enough money after all the other stores.Next alyssa wanted to find a scarf so we went into this wierd store called Fuego where she bought a pink peace sign shirt. We then went to american eagle wich was having their big sale.we both found cute shirts but then found out they were not actually on sale.Then we ran into aero which was also having a sale i got a dress there for 12 bucks.we then went to romy and charlie ruse we got matching shirts for 5 bucks there then we took a break and got some smoothies from jamba juice. then we went back to b&b and i got lipgloss and bodyspray. we then walked over to target to look around . finally we called Vicki to pick us up .it was a long day.the next few days we just kinda watched tv and movies and had a belated friends party for Dallin at the pool. Friday grandpa and them got back all of us cousins slept in the livingroom. we watched percy jackson and then breck dallin and I stayed up until about 3 in the morning.the next day we went to the space needle nd got to go to the o deck.brad and breck left at about 10 oclock to catch their 1oclock flight back to kentucky.

Swimming Lessons 10




Swimming Lessons had one less child this year. Blakely felt like she was a good enough swimmer to not take lessons. I reluclately agreed, because it was now time for Brady to start taking them. Brady loves the water and is a fish, but that first day he cried almost the whole time he was in the water. The teacher suggested that I not be in the pool area. So I stayed out the rest of the week.By the end of the week he loved it as you can see. The other kids swam well and practiced diving. My kids love the water. Great job Katelyn, Garret, and Brady.
