Memorial Day Weekend -- Part One

Over Memorial Day weekend we went to wonderful Packwood, WA for a celebration of sorts.  For those of you who don't know, it was 10 years ago that one of my closest friends, Becky Galentine, passed away from breast cancer.  Her husband Joey wanted to bring Becky's close friends back together to celebrate Becky. 

Packwood is close to Mt. Rainier, and we drove out on Saturday after Diana's first nap.  She's decided that being in the car is too much fun, and she's stopped taking naps in the car.  This way she'd get at least one nap.  The drive through Buckley and Enumclaw was relatively uneventful. The drive through the Mt. Rainier National Forest was awesome.  They had just opened the highway, and there was still snow all around.


We rented a cabin in Packwood with Will, Gilbrough, Glenn, and Jessica Clarke.  The cabin was very nice--props to Will for finding it.  It was right on the river and was close to Joey and Erin's cabin.


Diana had a great time in the cabin.  She climbed up the stairs multiple times.  This picture is her looking down at the living room from the top of the staircase.

Everyone had fun playing with Diana.  Will and Diana are actually very similar in maturity, so they got along very well.

Will and I were playing catch outside when we saw these elk.  They were huge--easily 7 feet tall. 

I'll post more pictures from the actual party at some point in time...
