Entiat-The extended version

Last summer we decided our summer vacation should be spent in one place, Entiat. This was the best decision ever. One three hour car ride, and then it is non stop fun in the sun for 10 days straight. We lived by the motto, if there is sun, they will come. It proved to be true. With the upstairs being un rented we were able to extend an invite to more people this year and it was awesome.

First weekend-The Schlettert's, Joe and Justin, and Hilary, Tony and Maraya. It was great to introduce Entiat to people who had never been before. I don't think our description can really do it justice. You just have to be there to appreciate it. Something tells me they will all be back.

Atti loved having his cousins to play with

Hungry?

The kids were in the water for hours.

We finally got to meet baby Madeline

We said goodbye to all these fun people and welcomed more. Grandpa and Tutu joined us Monday night, along with Ruby and their boat. It was fun spending time with them there, and cruising the river. My friend Christy and her boyfriend even dropped by for a boat trip and some beers.

Some people needed to rest after having too much fun.

To keep the fun alive the Epler's and Nicole came as well. I love having all the family here together because it reminds me of back in the day.

This is the best, sun, water, and beer.

Watch and learn

And one of my favorite parts of the trip was my new Stand Up Paddle Board. AKA SUP. I've been wanting to try one for a while now, and Demian found a great deal on one and got it for me for my birthday. I love it. It's a good workout, but fun and relaxing too. I have to admit that I got the hang of it pretty quickly. I wish I lived someplace I could use it year round. I guess I will just have to wait until next summer.

This is my new favorite thing

Again, we had such an amazing time. It was extra special spending it with all the cool people who came to hang with us. Planning on doing it all again next summer.
