Matt opens his grown-up gift...a play station 3!
Well I threw Matt a suprise party...which actually eneded up a surprise up until we reached the parking lot...then he recongized too many cars! Matt's mom has all of the pictures from the party at the restaurant.

Yep it is the start of the trip and Aaron is zonked out...Ryan is still holding 0n. Fortunately for me Kaylee (our nanny and friend) volunteer to drive out with me on the band trip to Spokane. I don't know how I would have survived on this trip without her!
Isn't he getting big (16 months)?
Ryan tests out the Tonka truck
Aaron waited 15 or 20 minutes in line to go on the go-carts with Daddy. They sat down in the car and Aaron decided it was too loud!
So...mommy got to drive! Don't I look fast?
Aaron had fun in the pool...so did Ryan. They definitely are not fish in the water but they are coming around.
The boys had fun throwing toys into the water. 
River Front Park
Spokane Falls goes right through the middle of the park
Aaron rode the airplanes all by himself. Mommy and Daddy are too big for this ride.
We had to pry Aaron off of this ride to go eat lunch.
Aaron pretends to play a video game just his size.
More of the falls...yes, this part is a dam.

So did Ryan and Mommy!

Aaron gets a better look at the Lilac Parade (the largest start light parade in the states - over 260 entries!)
Ryan's turn!
Here comes the band! Because it is at night the pictures didn't come out very well. Turns out that the bands are not judged in this parade. It is 2 1/2 miles long (this is long when the hometown parade is less than a mile), not to mention the 1 1/2 mile trek to the start of the parade.
Ryan shows us his nose
Leavenworth!! A fun Bavarian town in the located near the Wenatchee National forest in the Cascades.

Over all it was a very fun trip! Thank goodness I had help!
