Seattle Drags

From 2008 Seattle ...

We'll we sure had a lot of fun at the seattle drags and it was nice to see the fam again. The big boy dragsters were very impressive, and yes Kristal they were as good as advertised. The kids didn't really enjoy the drags too much so next year we'll have to make it an adult trip only. But they did enjoy the swimming at the hotel for sure. We'll definately have to get a bbq setup soon before summer runs out to get together at someones house. I guess we have the family reunion going on but I wont be around for that, bummer :-(.

Its time to get wet!

We'll you can see by the pictures that we spent some time at the pool. To be honest, we spent a lot of time at the pool. Thats all the kids want to do is swim. I think today alone we spent 2-3 hours in there swimming we'll go back over tonight too. Austin and Kortne both have really come a long way in their comfort level swimming. Kortne can swim around through the deep end and can float. Austin loves to jump in and he just started diving in too. He still belly flops but it must not hurt too bad because he does it over and over. He'll get it soon. Yesterday we went on a snake river excursion and the kids really had fun. We were on a huge sled boat with three V8 motors with around 1000 Horse power. It got up and went and we hit a few cool corners where it threw some water up and got people wet. Kristal and Kenny were in the back corner and they got completely soaked as if they jumped in the river and got back out. Kortne sat in the back for a while and got sprayed a few times. She gets so excited with that stuff. The kids are having a blast on their vacation and we have more planned for tomorrow. we'll thats all for now.
