Easter Weekend

Last weekend was a lot of fun for Adam and I, it was jam packed that's for sure...and to top it off I was sick.  Not just any sick, I'm talkin runny nose, sneezing, headaches, coughing, body aches, and a FEVER! I didn't let that stop me though :)

Friday we went to church at Summit View for an extended worship (kind of like a special Good Friday service).  We started off with some worship songs then we all broke off separately and went to "stations of the cross."  There were eight places you could go to learn more about what Jesus went through the day he was crucified. I've never done that before and it was actually very touching.  You weren't able to speak and there were devotions you could read and journal notes provided for writing any thoughts.  I enjoyed learning about what He went through that day.

Afterwards we went to happy hour at Beaches Restaurant with our friends Jeremy and Kirsten.  If you've been there you know their happy hour menu is amazing!  Kirsten, Jeremy, and I all got Fish n' Chips, and Adam got Shrimp Ceviche and something else I don't remember.  Then for dessert Adam and I got this smore sizzling dessert.  Oh. My. It was so delicious!

On Saturday Adam and I did one of our favorite things...FISHING!  We woke up to sunshine and decided right then that's what we were going to do!  We went with another friend Brandon to Lacamas Lake got our rods in the water.

It's so relaxing to just hang out in the sun on the edge of the lake.  We both wish we had a nice boat to take out but in the words of Justin Moore "if ya ain't got a boat, you gotta bank it" that will have to do for now :)  Adam was the only one to catch anything and he caught two trout.  Whoo hoo!

Saturday night my family came into town.  My grandma Faye from Seattle and my uncle Gary from New Jersey.  My uncle comes out every summer from NJ to work for the Mariners (he's a Pacific Northwesterner at heart).  Anyway that night we all went to dinner at the Puffin Cafe.  It's down on the Columbia River near Washougal.  I had never been there before but the food was amazing!  I definitely recommend it.  The prices were very reasonable too.

Adam got craw fish!

On Easter Sunday we all went to church at Summit View!  There was eleven of us!  We had my grandma Faye, my uncle Gary, my mom Joni, her boyfriend Larry, my sister Jessica, her boyfriend Nick, Adam, his dad Bob, his mom Brenda, his brother Robbie, and me.  As usual the service was great and afterwards we went to brunch at Camas Meadows Golf Course.

My grandma Faye and I.  She's 84 can you believe it?!

I had a terrible fever in this picture, but I still love it.
