A peek at Girl's Week

I thought I'd put up some pictures from this weekend. For some reason I feel like starting at the end, so here are some from after most all the fellas had gone. Girl's Week as the Gundie gals called it. All my little nieces are so fun to be around. I'm glad we got to stay a few extra days and join in their fun.

Only these girls would have a musical finale to a water fight. Pretty cute. Can you believe how much they're all growing up?!

Girly time wouldn't be complete without facials, pedicures, and manicures.

It wasn't all "Girls Only". We had a few boys around to spice things up.

A little Forks anyone....

Once upon a time on March 28th of this year we were driving home from our trip to California on my birthday. It was an all day drive with not much room for stopping to celebrate so Garth, who was feeling bad about the circumstances, asked me what I wanted for my birthday. I told him I wanted to read Twilight to him while he drove so he could get a glimpse into something I loved. He was very happy to have something that would make me happy so he eagerly agreed. About 5 hours later when we were stopped out of gas on the Las Vegas freeway (and listening to Twilight was now interesting and not a duty) Garth again was feeling bad about my birthday.

I told him I would love to go to Forks, WA with my Edward (that is Garth in case you were confused and Forks is where the books take place for the Twilight impaired).(OK I don't think it was that cheesy but the sentiment was the same.) Being the trip kind of guy that he is (and glad that I was referring to him), he again agreed eagerly.

About three weeks ago he made good on his promise and I could not have asked for a better present!!!!! We drove around and looked at the scenery while listening to the Twilight books on CD.It was GORGEOUS!!! So much more vivid and beautiful than I even imagined! As an added bonus Garth fell in love with it too. (Still nursing Will or else he would definitely not have been invited.) So we saw & took pictures of all the sights!

Port Angeles, where we had Italian...

We went out to LaPush ...

Rialto Beach was Garth's favorite . . .

And First Beach . . .
We hiked through the forest...

We had a great time and highly recomend the trip to anyone. We hope to go back with or without the kids soon!
