This and That

It has been awhile! I always think about blogging, but of course it never actually happens. It also doesn't help that most of my pictures are on my iPhone and not my computer making it just a little bit more time consuming to have some pictures for my readers to enjoy! Anyway, it is well into summer here in Washington. The sun has been shining, more or less and it has been pretty warm like summer should be. I have had a pretty busy summer so far. I went to Leavenworth with a friend in June which was fun. It was just a one day, two night getaway, but it was relaxing and fun! The weather had yet to turn nice here, so going over the mountains, further away from the ocean current and having nice sunny, warm weather made the trip even better! Then in early July my family went to a wedding for a friend of my brother's. It was a pretty good wedding. I didn't stay all that long as it was getting late and we had some dogs that needed to be taken care of. The food at the wedding was pretty good too. There was mashed potatoes, pretzel rolls, filet mignon, etc. The cake was pretty good too (although I didn't have any of that until today! haha!), then just this past Sunday I went to my really good childhood friends wedding. I had such a fun time! It was at a quaint little old factory building in SOHO, really close to the stadiums (for those not familiar with the area, it was in Seattle :P) It was a really fun wedding as I knew a lot more people at this wedding then the first (I had a fun time at the first one despite that), there were really yummy appetizers, such as some steak thingy on a thin piece of bread (don't know what it was call, but it was yummy), a chicken, onion, basil mixture on a piece of lettuce, that was yummy, but the lettuce was somewhat bitter. There was also a small table with bread, cheese, fruit, different spreads (like Pesto), some fruit spreads, and asian cracker mix. All that I had from that table was really good. Then dinner was a typical wedding spread (or so it seems) with salad, bread, yukon gold potatoes, roasted and seasoned vegetables, halibut, and steak. I had some bread, salad, steak, and potatoes. I didn't take any vegetables because I am not a big fan of cooked vegetables. Everything was very yummy, I only had a few bites of steak as I am not a big meat eater, unless I have steak sauce. :P The potatoes were very yummy, especially with salt and pepper added. The best part came shortly after dinner. First there was the toast by the fathers, best man, and maid of honor, then the cake was cut! The cake wasn't a traditional wedding cake, there were actually a bunch of different types, like seven! I had the red velvet and oreo cookie cake! They were both really yummy, but I was sure full after that! Then came the dancing, not good on a full stomach! I had such bad stomach cramps, but I kept dancing because it was so fun! My parents left before I was ready to leave, so luckily I was able to hitch a ride with some friends! We have another wedding to go to on Friday that I hope is just as fun!
Today my brother, his girlfriend and I went to Wild Waves. It was pretty fun, but I don't think it was worth the money. We were only able to go on two of the water rides as the lines were so long and really disorganized. We did, however, go on quiet a few of the non water rides. The best ones were the Kang-a-bounce, the log flume, pirate ship, and hang glider. The best was really the kang-a-bounce! That thing bounced you more then expected! I had a good time, though I got a head ache towards the end from not drinking enough and it being pretty hot. I also got sun burned on my face, kinda forgot the sun screen. :P

Now for an update on Charlie. Nothing much has changed for him. His 7th birthday is coming up though....I don't want him to get any older!!!! This does, however, give me an excuse to go and get him a bunch of birthday presents! I will try to update a little more frequently, but that just depends on if I have done anything exciting. I don't think that my readers want to read about the boring stuff I do on a daily basis, like eat lunch and go outside to read my book. That just isn't very exciting. Now I leave you with some pictures! 

The Kang-a-bounce. I didn't take this picture, it is from the internet.  

Charlie after having some frozen yogurt from Yogurtland! He loved it! Yes he did get his own!
