July 4th Week-end

I haven't spent more than a few minutes on the Burke Gilman trail in my 4 years @ UW. Sheepish no more! On July 4th, HCC went on a 25 mile bike ride from UW to Redmond, a BBQ @ Gary & Amy's and a fireworks show in Bellevue.

On July 5th, not quite recovered, our family & John's family went to Lake Chelan and Leavenworth. It is amazing how fast time has past. I realized our family has not travelled together in over 3 years, and I appreciated the time we had together. I especially liked that Alvin & I experienced our first jet ski-ing together, and that he enjoyed himself. He was afriad of getting wet, but the sunshine solved that problem very quickly. With every jump and huge splash, with every laugh...I was happy. Leavenworth was quaint and I enjoyed the beer and bratwurst. I think we all did. :)
