Our Presidents' Weekend in Leavenworth was all we'd hoped for!
We dined out at several great spots and enjoyed the evening light shows.
We put on a show of our own, too!
Breakfasts were a treat, as usual, and we had a few good alpine horn players (and another who talked entirely too much!).
We went on several walks, including through town, by the fish hatchery, on Blackbird Island, and around the upper loop neighborhood. Finding toys was a bonus!
Naturally grandmas climb, too!
This was a year of game playing! Mitch is interested in chess right now and he found a willing adversary in Parker.
There were many games of Monopoly cards and Mitch was happy to teach anyone who would sit still.
When the adults played, Mitch helped his grampa cheat...and was very proud of the tomfoolery!
We demonstrated our anti-prowess at ping pong several times
and the kids got racquetball lessons a time or two, as well.
It is fun to watch from on high!
Of course there was a lot of swimming as well, both indoors and out.
We may never be grandparents...
We did an Old West portrait for fun one afternoon
and the kids were willing to stare down their barrels for the camera!
We ate a lot, enjoyed our balcony, visited the book store several times, had gelato and ice cream, went to the chocolate store, and did all the required things...except those involving snow. Another fun year of this tradition!
