Spectacular!

Monday night we took our kids up to Snoqualmie Falls.
It was spectacular!

We hiked down about a half mile to get a closer look.

Someday we'd love to stay in that hotel right at the top of the falls. (When we're rich!)

Tonight we got to do something completely different that was just as exciting! Linsey had her first piano recital. We've had several practice recitals for family and grandparents, but this was much, much different. There were lots of nerves involved and even a few tears. Linsey prefers to do things in her own quiet way and to get up in front of a large crowd was absolutely nerve wracking for her. But, she pulled it off and you never would have known what a hurdle it was.

Here she is just moments before the recital began. There was no flash photography during the recital so I don't have THE picture, but she got up and played her piece without flaw. She swung her legs back and forth the whole time she played, but never missed a note or a beat. We were so proud of her!

Here's the whole group. Yes, we listened to all 42 songs.

Hunter sure was a trooper. We got there early for Linsey to practice so all in all, he sat for over 2 hours. Emma did okay. :)

Ice cream at the end always makes it worth it!
Way to go Linsey!
