OKANOGAN IS OK!

I was so excited to have a little mini vacation to Okanogan this week!  My best friend and college roomie, Amanda...aka Mitz, lives with her family in Okanogan!  She grew up there so her parents still live there on their ranch!  We love going to Okanogan because it is only a 4 hour drive from our house over the most beautiful scenery you have ever seen!  We drive through a little town called Winthrop, which looks like an old western town and it is very close to one of the most happening lakes in Washington, Lake Chelan!  

Mitz has a 2.5 year old, Steele, and her son Camden  was born on the same day as Harper, 2 hours and 17 minutes after Harper!  Our other best college friend, Aimee, drove up from Klamath Falls to hang out with us as well!  When we all get together we have the best time!!!  We eat too much, drink too much and tell all the old college stories that never get old!  I did feel bad for Aimee though because there she was on her vacation with both of our families and 4 crazy kids!!  She said she had fun...

We got to do so many activities in our short 4 day visit!  We went to their ranch, Lake Chelan and then just hung around the house!  It was a great trip and I'm always sad when it's time to say good bye!

Steele LOVED Harper!  He would always come over and snuggle her and kiss her toes!
This is the day we went to the Ranch!  Xavier rode the tractor...

Fed the calf...
Steele fed the calf...
then I fed the calf!  Ha..just kidding...my friends put me up to this!  I never back down from a challenge!!  P.S...I'm not really feeding this calf!  She is sucking on my finger!
They went for a ride in the ranger....
The boys took the boys for a ride to get hay for the pony.
and finally they rode the pony Twilight!  
It was such a fun day on the ranch!
We roasted marshmallows at 11:00 at night!
They were amazing smores!!
Photo opp!  We had to fit both the babes in the bouncy seat!  Camden was not too happy at first...
but then we finally got a good picture of them both looking at the camera!  Future boyfriend and girlfriend??
Xavier posing with the babes...
My polka dot girl was so happy!
She was giving lots of smiles!
Sun Bathing at Lake Chelan!  This is the only picture I got at Lake Chelan since we spent most of the time in the water with Xavier.

It was impossible to get these two to hold still next to each other for a picture!
Blowing bubbles!
Me and Aimee...the end of the trip :-(
