Here is what we have done in July-August....... READY GO
White Coat Ceremony: Sat in a beautiful theatre and watched Glen receive his white coat. He looks like a real doctor now! Proud of you babe, but i'm more proud of the person who came up with the Peach Creme brûlée at the restaurant we ate at afterwards! Come to Yakima just for that people.
Hops Festival-Yakima grows basically everything, but mostly grapes for wine and hops for beer. We enjoyed a parade that had the most candy thrown than any parade I've ever been to. I knew there was a reason I go to things that Olive could care less about! Look at her face in the stroller parade pic, it was really too hot, she looks how I felt. We enjoyed the parade and funnel cake+corndog with our friend McKenna. I took Glen back later after school to show him the fresh donuts and just to walk around!
Walking the Greenbelt, Berry Picking, Splash Pad: Exactly what they sound like.
Boat Races in Kennewick: We went and watched the hydroplane boat races in Tri-cities. The day started out with a Air Show right above the river. It was a perfect day spent by the water drinking Pepsi, eating lunchables, stax, and watching the races. Those boats were seriously impressive, they are average speeds of 120mph. One of my favorite days so far.
My next favorite day is Leavenworth and apple cider tasting: We went with our friends McKenna and Kourtey to Leavenworth for the day! Such a quaint town that makes you feel like you moved to Europe. Candy shops, pastries, a little bit of hiking and shopping made for my perfect date! Afterwards we hit up an Apple Cider brewery for a tasting and of course we left with a couple bottles.
Mom Camp: 12 Moms, 40 kids, no sleep, fun hikes, good food, rattlesnake, swarming bees and laughing until I cried all made for a memorable time. Mom Camp 2014 was a success. Shout out to the brilliant minds of Mom Camp. Olive and I had a blast + Olive made 40 friends and it was a vacation because I hardly held her those 3 days, she was a hot item to say the least.
Rimrock Lake: Took friends, fried chicken, sour patch kids, and floatation devices out to Rimrock Lake. We played in the water all day. Fun times.
Anniversary: Our amazing friends Dave and Amberlee offered to watch Olive while we went on a date for our two Anniversary. We went out to dinner and had plans to do other things but we ended up sitting in downtown Yakima and talking for an hour. It was much needed time away from the little miss Olive and reminded me why I married Glen. Happy 2 years! Thank for the laughs and always keeping me in line. XOXO
Mt. Rainier: We woke up after our Anniversary date and decided that we needed some more family time. Med School has a way of stealing every ounce of energy and leaves you feeling distant from your family if you're not careful, especially while we were still adjusting, and currently still are. So on a whim we decided church could wait until next week and jumped in the car and spent the day in Mt. Rainier National Park. Basically we drove to Switzerland for the day. It was so unbelievably beautiful, It didn't seem like real life. Come visit us and this too could be you, frolicking through the flowers in Switzerland...no really, please come visit me.
