Weekend Visitors

This weekend we had our good friends Mike and Mindy over for a visit. It was sooooo nice to have them over on our side of the mountain! They hit some major traffic and turned a 2.5 hour trip into a 5....so needless to say, Lauren tried to wait up but couldn't pull it off. However we stayed up until midnight chatting and of course Miss Lauren finally heard us and was up as well.

Here she is half awake opening a present from "Uncle" Mike and "Auntie" Mindy......she has a lot of "aunts" and "uncles"! Auntie Mindy did some major girly shopping and hooked her up with bracelets, a shirt and skirt. Super cute outfit. I think the bracelets are retired for the time being. She likes to pull on the elastic with her teeth.....and I'm just waiting for them to snap her!

The next morning us girls stayed at the house and chatted the morning away! The boys jumped in the boat to run around the Sound. Lauren found Lacey to be a wonderful "horse". Pickle was also there, but for some reason she missed out on all of the photo ops!

The girls saying buy to the boys. Lacey wouldn't stay in the window with Lauren long enough for the pic.

After a morning of laziness, which was very relaxing, we got ready and went to the boat ramp, but the guys weren't there....somehow we missed them on the road. But this is the spot and the view of Mount Rainier in the far distance. It was beautiful in the afternoon, but the clouds didn't burn off until almost 2. We have very coastlike weather.

Back at the house, Lauren sporting the super cute outfit she got the night before.

We got the sprinkler out for the "kids"! Lacey enjoyed it the most!

Then daddy broke out the new pool. That's another story that I have pics from last week to post.

Lauren liked to splash and Lacey attacked the splashes. She never got in which was good because she probably would have popped it, but it was pretty amazing for a lab!

Break time for bean dip! Lauren was a mess! Between the bean dip in her hair and everywhere else.....as well as the black soot from crab cooker......she needed a bath, again!

We had such a good time with our friends this weekend. We watched "Hot Tub Time Machine" which was hilarious and ate really well all weekend. We were only able to send them home with 4 crab, which was a tad disappointing, but there's always next time! They had to leave fairly early Sunday so they could stop and see family on the way home. Lauren and I took advantage of it and took a 2 hour nap! We are fighting colds (I don't think they are allergies but who knows at this point), so the naps were needed! Can't wait to see them again, hopefully we can get over on their side of the mountain in September.
