grandma's pool

We were missing Grandma's pool so James and the kids went to buy one.  I know it is not quite the same but it was fun anyway

Micheal and Ashley were making the traditional whirl pool when Gus decided he wanted in on the action.

Even Aunt Nancy got in on the action.

Then we decided we needed pictures of the pool spot. They all had to pretend to swim in the pool one last time.  Nathan always did like to be under water.

Fort Simcoe

 Apparently there is a fort in central Washington that was used during the Indian wars.  It looked like it was now a camp ground and there may have been some water on the property somewhere but there was also a huge sign that said "Bear Warning" and my family was not brave enough to adventure too far off.

 Jason and Ashley are seeing what it would be like to be a prisoner.

 This was the soldiers barracks.

 Unfortunaly the fort was not officially open on Mondays (we were having bad luck in that department) so some of the builings like the officers houses were not open.  But we could look in the windows at some pretty fun stuff.

Grandma's caramel corn

 This is grandma teaching Allison how to make her yummy caramel corn.  We are all hoping Allison will be able to replicate it.
