August Memories...

On August 2nd we found all these onions of Shawn's. I thought his logo was pretty catchy.

On August 3rd I got my nails done again.  I love the classic look.
This was the yummy stir-fry Scott made us after church on August 4th.

For my birthday I had to work all day then Scott made us some yummy fajitas that we ate at Mom and Dad's house.  It was nice that Scott's parent were able to join us.  Scott got a yummy orange cream cheesecake for dessert.  We then looked at our pictures from our trip to Leavenworth.  It was a nice evening.
On August 15th I took this picture of our tomatoes before Scott trimmed them down.  We couldn't believe how big they have grown.

My pumpkins have taken over my whole garden.

On August 24th when I was working on putting in more pavers for our new table I had a hummingbird that kept visiting me and I was able to get a few pictures of it which was super cool.

Leavenworth, WA...

Pictures came in backwards...so start at the bottom.

We had lunch at the Tri-Cities at the food truck.  We had some yummy Mexican rice bowls.  We had a great trip.  



We stopped at the lookout over the Columbia River.

Monday morning we ate breakfast, then headed home.  We got a picture at the sign before leaving.

I loved all these cute little villages.
We then drove back to Leavenworth which was about a 30-minute drive then walked back downtown to do a little shopping.  We found the cutest Christmas store.  They had everything.

We had a late lunch at Wenatchee at the McGlinn's Public House Restuarant.  It was so good.  We shared a yummy pizza and salad and also a lime cheesecake.  It was the best food I've had in a long time.





Sunday we had another nice breakfast, then played some miniature golf there at the resort.  It was fun!  I was even able to capture a hummingbird and I got a hole in one!

This was the perfect place to watch the Sound of Music.  
It was so fun and beautiful with the mountains around us.

There must have been a corvette club there at the same time because we saw so many of them all over town.


We got some brats and yummy hot dogs at the famous Munchen Haus.  I got the Big City Beef Frank with grilled onions and cream cheese.  Scott got the Big Bob Bratwurst.  We also shared a warm Bavarian Pretzel and I got some German potato salad.  It was good but we had to get some of that yummy ice cream again.  Scott got the same one but I tried the chocolate brownie and it was super good too.  We then went back to the hotel for some relaxation until it was ready to go to the Leavenworth Outdoor Theater. 

We got some good excercise!


















Saturday we had a nice breakfast then went on a four-mile hike at the Icicle Gorge Trail.  It was so nice to be in the woods and enjoy the outdoors and be together.

We then relaxed by the fire and which some of the Olympics.

We found an ice cream shop.  When we walked in we couldn't believe the smell.  They were making the waffle cones in the shop.  It smelt amazing.  I usually don't eat waffle cones but I had to have one and they didn't disappoint.  They were so good.  I had lemon ice cream and it had big chunks of lemon bars in it.  So, so good!  Scott had a blackberry swirl ice cream which was really good also. 











Scott found this cute little restaurant called Yudelin.  The view from our table was so pretty and the food was amazing.

We were even more surprised by how nice our room was at the Icicle Village Resort.  We had a beautiful view of the mountains, a fireplace, and a jacuzzi tub with a window so you could sit in the tub and still watch TV.  We loved it!  It cost of $1166.91 for the three nights.  We are so looking for some nice relaxation.  After we got settled in we went for a walk downtown.  We loved all the pretty flowers and the Barvarian themed decor.  


On August 9th Scott and I had a little couples get away.  We headed to Leavenworth, WA for the weekend.  We stopped at the tri-cities mall to get some stuff at Bath and Body Works.  We then got some lunch at Taco Time.  We were both pleasantly surprised by how pretty it was in this quaint little town.
