A Quick Visit

When my Aunt Lesa was diagnosed with cancer, us girls knew that we needed to go with my mom to go see her. Us California girls hopped on a flight on Wednesday and met up with Shannon in Seattle. 

Uncle Lyles picked us up at the airport and took us to get some lunch at one of his favorite places and it was probably the best pulled pork sandwich I have ever eaten!

He then took us over to check out Snoqualmie Falls.

After, we made our way to Manson to spend a couple of days with the England's. Uncle Len showed us around his orchards and let us do some picking,

we got out on the lake,

we took a walk with Lesa 

and she introduced us to all her animal friends.

We were even treated to a helicopter tour from Len's brother.

We stayed with Uncle Lyles and Aunt Stacy the night before we had to fly home. They took us for a walk just down the street from their house to a beautiful river. 

It was a quick trip, but we made some really great memories!

Facing His Fears

We went to The Cove today. The boys love all the waterslides.

But the best moment came when we went over to the pool. They had a high dive and the big boys were quick to get up there to jump off.

Rob had to get up there too and show them how it's done.

Lincoln wanted so bad to be like the big kids, but once he was up there, he chickened out and climbed back down.

He made his way over to the low diving board and felt a little better.

After a lot of encouragement from his family and kind strangers around him, finally convinced him to try the high dive one more time. He walked to the end of the board, turned and waved at me...

and then jumped!!

Everyone was cheering for him. I was so proud of him for conquering his fear. He's a pretty brave 6 year old!!
