Weekend wrap-up

We're exhausted, but had a really fun weekend. Saturday we headed north, near Cusick, to see Courtney and Harper. Courtney's sister's family has a great house on the Pond Oreille River.... it was amazing and beautiful up there. We were only able to hang out for a couple hours, but I'm so happy we were able to catch up. And of course, seeing Harper and Ella together is always fun. Ella got to take a ride on one of the boats - her first since last summer. She did pretty well! Gotta love the life preserver.....

After visiting the Pederson girls, we drove about 30 minutes east to Chewelah for our friends' daughter's wedding. Tom and Donna's daughter, Klarissa got married at Mountain View Lodge - it was gorgeous! But man was is hot! Ella had a fabulous time exploring, especially the stairs, and showed everyone her dance moves of course. She was looking very fashionable in her Marks & Spencer's gown - thanks Grandma Margaret!

And then, on Sunday we headed to Endicott for a Storment family Reunion. Quite a few people showed up - we weren't sure what to expect. It had been a long weekend already, so Ella was not quite her happy-go-lucky self. She zonked out in the car as soon as we started to head home. Now we have a 3 day countdown before we head west to tackle Mt. St. Helens. (and Ella gets to hang out with Grammy for a few days!) Who created this itinerary anyway? Whew!
