First Month in Yakima

It's been about a month now that I've been living in Yakima.  We've gotten a bit of time to see some sights.  We spent a weekend in Leavenworth for Maifest.  Its a German celebration celebrating the start of May and Spring. The town of Leavenworth has completely embraced the heritage and require all store fronts and signs to have the Bavarian/German feel to it.

Rambo even got into the spirit with a Bavarian style hat!

After stuffing ourselves silly on the amazing food and drink, the boys decided we were going to take some Old Time Photos.  We had a good time with it, especially Shawn who got into character.  Haha!

Careful . . . we're coming to get you!!

Here are a few photos of our house.  I'll post more when things slow down.  Its so crazy here with everyone that its tough to keep it clean long enough to take a picture.  But, I love my roommates and wouldn't trade them for anything!!!

I have been watching our friend's dog, Chief, during the day.  He helps pass the days along until I find a job.  We checked out a dog part in the area and loved it so much we're heading back there very soon.  Chief loved being off the leash and chasing down his ball, which he is completely obsessed with.

Creek bed but no water . . . too dry here.

Nice shade area for everyone to rest in.

Last item . . . we got a hammock!!  Its fantastic to relax in!  We've been wanting one since Glenna and Bill brought one with camping last summer.  Just for the record, hammocks are AWESOME!! I laid down and instantly fell asleep.  Rambo joined me and we snuggled for awhile.  Unfortunately, now our backyard looks like an obstacle course.  Haha!

Relaxation at its finest!
