PEPs get together

We had a nice evening hanging with some of old PEPs buddies! It was a wonderful, warm evening out by the water at the Mercer Island beach club where the King family are members. The kids had fun splashing in the pool, jumping into the lake, roasting smores and just running around the grounds while the adults soaked in one of the last 9pm sunsets for the year. I can't believe how grown these kids are! Seems like just yesterday we were reminiscing about highs and lows of being new parents. Some photos of now vs then below!

Enjoying the lake views!

Ski weekend in Leavenworth

We had made plans many moons ago to take the MLK weekend for a short getaway to the Leavenworth area. We've been a few times in years past and it's always a fun place to visit especially in the wintertime. But this year, with COVID and all, we weren't sure whether we wanted to go but I'm super happy that we went. We had a blast and was able to keep safe by keeping to ourselves! First up, we left bright and early so that we can pack in a snowshoe/winter hike on the drive over. The last time we went , we had stopped for some snowshoeing on the way back and it was epic! Unfortunately, this time the snow was old and not nearly as soft and fluffy so while it was a nice diversion with some pretty views, it wasn't as great as we had hoped. The fun part though, was that we brought our camping stove with us so we did some tailgating in the parking lot and had a fancy ramen meal for lunch. It was super nice to warm the belly with the yummy noodles and broth! That evening, we ...

Harmonica girl

Evie saw Ian's video playing the harmonica so of course had to get one. She's been playing up a storm. Good thing it keeps both of the girls entertained!
