Our first vacation day involved an afternoon visit with Chris & Gerry as well as Chris's sister Katie who postponed her travel back home to Indiana by one day to meet Gerritt & Sophia. Gerritt really enjoyed Katie's gifts of toy water guns & bubbles, so part of the afternoon was spent getting wet outside. We finished our evening in Chelan with dinner, story time by grandma Chris, & a bath for both kids.
We've spent the next morning boating with Gerry & Chris & enjoying the lake's magnificent views. Gerritt really liked steering the boat while sitting on grandpa Gerry's lap. In the afternoon, after the kids' naps, we explored the sandy beaches of the Lake Chelan State Park. Gerritt played with sand toys for at least 2 hours & Sophia didn't even cry when I wet her feet in the cold lake. What were the odds, but I ran into an old classmate of mine from nursing school at the beach (Wenatchee Valley College's Associate's in Nursing Program, which I finished in 2000).
The Red Tricycle published an article recently on things to do in Chelan when traveling with kids. The Red Tricycle is a free online publication with a mission of helping parents to have more fun with their kids. It proved to be a great resource for us when planning this trip.
