Summer Trips

Having already taken that big trip in May, we didn't travel too far the rest of the summer. But we did have some fun shorter trips, to various parts of the state. First, we visited Toppenish, Washington, the town where Scott's dad, Stan, grew up. We enjoyed catching up with Stan's sister, Sharon, and her husband, Jim Wilson. They showed off the impressive murals that Toppenish has come to be known for. We also had a fun weekend trip to a spot on the Columbia called Crow Butte, with Jen's extended family on her mom's side. Unfortunately, we had too much fun there, catching up with family, jet-skiing, playing volleyball, that we didn't take any pictures to share. Then it was a day trip with Scott's brother David to hike in the Enchantments, outside of Leavenworth, Washington at a place called Lake Colchuck. Incredible scenery and one of Scott's favorite places. Last, was a trip we took in August with Jen's brother Andy to Pinnacle Peak, in Mt. Rainier National Park. Great scenery here too, with amazing, up-close views of Mt. Rainier. We also slid down a snow field. (intentionally).
