#sandpoint2k14

So I am posting this like a week late, but better late than never am I right? I went to sandpoint and can I just say best week of my life? It was heaven over there! It's in northern Idaho and is a cute little town. The lake was gorgeous! A little colder than lake Sammamish. We stayed in the Rands lake house. It was perfect! We are so lucky they invited us! I love the Rands! 

Driving up there was a struggle but the week made up for it. We ran out of gas and so we had to hitchhike to a gas station. Some one finally helped us out and picked up my dad. It was this really nice guy who was a total hick haha. We gave him some money and food. He was really funny. Then our car battery died and so he had to help us with that haha. We finally got in at like 2, after trying to find the house for a while.

There was 5 families total, Rands, Fishers, Flakers, Beans and Bishopps. There mainly was younger children so I got to invite a friend! I invited Maddi and I am so glad I did! It was a lot of fun with her. We basically went boating, toured the town, bike rides, kayaking, swimming, bridge jumping, eating lots of good food (like real good), jet skiing, canoeing, campfires, hiking, berry picking, etc. It was fun getting to know the other families cause I really didn't really know them. There were so many adorable children there. Here are some pictures of my week:

life's awesome

This past month or so has just been go go go. I finally have some time to sit down and do a blog post about life. Well mainly pictures, let's get real, I hate writing, love pictures. I feel like all I do is work but that's not completely true. Work hard play harder am I right? I'll do a blog post about my nanny job later.

This summer consists of:
- lots of boating
- tube wars
- meeting some awesome tanzanians
- fires by the lake
- awkward ysa activities
- meeting new people
- hanging with the fam
- lots of sister bonding
- night walks with mom
- berry picking
- good food
- farmer's market
- bike rides
- lots of hiking
- running
- kayaking
- buying my own car!! (don't know what I would do without it)
- concerts
- seattle
- night swimming
- canoeing
- the bachelorette! (of course)

Life's good, no it's awesome. I can't complain I pretty much love being home but I am so excited to go back to school. Here are some pictures to prove I do these things cause it didn't happen if there isn't a picture to prove it. (picture's are random)
