Crazy Love Gamble-Style

We had the very best weekend!  Our whole family (mostly) went to Great Wolf Lodge.  The kids have known this trip was coming for quite some time, they've had a count down going non-stop up until we got in the car.  They are at the perfect age to anticipate and get excited over things to come without driving you nuts about it (like they did when they were younger).    Here we are ready to check in, happy little wolves.   Norah swim-ready.  : )  So excited!   We were all just as excited as they were!!  Our group had 9 adults and 4 kiddos, the adults loved it just as much as the kids!   Here's the littlest ones playing under the table at dinner.    They put on several little shows for the kids to watch, they loved it!  Love her little leg up, so cute!  Playing with their new wolves.   Cousins!  The wand activates all sorts of cool thi...

 There will be lots of zoo fun this Summer, since we have a pass, it's our new favorite spot to meet up with friends.  This time my friend Angela and her son Kruse came along for the fun!   I love all these silhouette shots!   The baby lions are growing so fast!  Don't mess with us Norah, we will feed you to the lions!    Family : )  Love my Ava girl!  Kruse is so cute!!  Goats! Fun day, I've missed Angela so much!  I'm really hoping we will get lots of chances to spend time together over the Summer while she's slightly less busy...  : )

We had a lovely weekend in Seattle celebrating 3 graduations, along with Father's Day.  The first party was for Kate, she just graduated high school.  The family had a nice open house party for her. Here's the girls playing in the sport court, along with Strohm and cousin Gavin.   John was in charge of photos for a moment, so here is the meat : )  We were thrilled to see Meaghan!  She was up from California to join in the festivities.   Her and Norah became fast friends, despite this being their first time meeting.   Grandma Bonnie & Ava hit it off again too of course.  Last time Ava fell asleep in her lap, it was the sweetest thing.  Oh the hat, just when you think Norah couldn't be cuter...  Seriously.  Norah was going around introducing herself to people, "Hi! My name is Norah, I'm 3, I can't have gum." hahaha  Me & my loves.  Au...
