Swimming at Suncadia!

This last weekend we traveled about 80 miles east of Seattle to a beautiful lodge in the mountains called Suncadia, for a church retreat.  The lodge is only a couple of years old and it truly is top quality.  The sights were breathtaking, the rooms spacious, the amenities abounding!  I can't brag enough about it...Kurt and I will definitely be putting it on our list of must-return-to!  

What an awesome location to reflect on all of God's beauty...

The lodge was huge!  
Taking in the views!

An early dinner on Friday with friends Tim and Brittany!
The weather was almost 80 degrees both days and the lodge actually opened the outdoor swimming pools early for everyone to use!
Madelyn with her buddy, Persis (almost 3).
This is Chloe! 
 (otherwise known as the "nugget")
Maddie with her snack buddy, Noella...
Pool-time with the dads...our friends Rian and little Lachlan!
Maddie is in a very big "daddy phase" right now and was absolutely loving all the water play!
Instructing Daddy on what she wanted to do...
oh boy!
sweet giggles!
We would put Madelyn on the edge of the pool and encourage her to jump to us...it was a good thing we were there, her jump was more like a nose dive into our arms!
I love her!

What a beautiful place! Looks like you had a wonderful time. Do I see a future swimmer?? Maybe it's in her blood. She will have a good teacher! : )

Yes - we will talk soon. I will call you, promise.

Lots of love...
