Washington

We recently spent a week in Eastern Washington. Tri-Cities to be exact. Instead of writing it all out, here is our vacation in pictures.

Baden on one of the many airplanes we took (two out there, three back).

The pretty suspension bridge in Tri-Cities. I know you can't tell, but it was huge!

Me and baby Mark.

Sam, toddler, fan of the phrase, "Don't touch my buttons, they are dangerous!" But that's only when he's being Buzz Lightyear

Baden and his favorite band Carbon Leaf! They did a free outdoor concert while we were there and it was awesome.

Lake surrounded by desert. I couldn't understand it.

The Tri-Cities Temple! So beautiful, inside and out.

Teryaki. I have heard about the teryaki out west from Baden for a long time and I finally got some. Very delicious.

Baden, about to get three cavities filled by his brother, Thomas. We neglected to take a picture of me while getting two wisdom teeth pulled. Not exactly standard vacation procedure, but who's going to turn down free dental care?

Joe and Sam at the batting cages. I love this picture!

Yes, that is Baden up to bat in socks and crocs. There's just no way to get that guy out of them. But he still did great!

Our view of the Carbon Leaf concert.

Small crowd of people up front. Most people were in stands in the back. If you look closely, you can also see Joe and Sam chillin up there.

The oldest Bagley brother, Garrett, and the youngest.

The Bagley boys can't live without their diet soda so I got a pretty good tour of all the gas stations in eastern Washington. I just liked this sign in one of them that says, "That spare change in your cup holder is a lottery ticket in disguise."

It's a tradition for the wives of the Bagley boys to get pedicures together whenever they see each other. This was my first one, with Katie!

And finally, here is a little video of Sam, as Buzz Lightyear, explaining why we can't touch the buttons on his costume.
