Family Trip to Leavenworth

Our family loves going to Leavenworth! It's a great little German style town with beautiful mountains all around it! They brag about having over 300 days of sunshine a year! How convenient, we can drive two hours and be in the sun and mountains!

This time we stayed for three nights in a condo near the town. It was a perfect spot for our family! Here are some pictures of our time, and some of the memories we made.

Welcome to Leavenworth!


Asha with her new flower hat. The town was filled with beautiful flowers like this.

We rode on the trolley through town. We had to do this twice because the kids enjoyed it so much.

One of the many views near our condo.

While in town we got to listen to several talented musicians (one being a famous yodeller). The girls enjoyed dancing to the music, and several joined in with them.

We found a beautiful lake on one of our hikes. The water felt like snow...but the kids still had a blast playing in it! We ended up staying here for hours!


We also hiked near a fish hatchery, and found lots of unique flowers (or weeds).

Our last day in Leavenworth we took a short hike near our condo. On this hike Matt actually spotted a little bear right near our path! That freaked us all out.....since we didn't quite know what we should do if we confronted one head on. Do you run? Stay still? Walk away slowly? Give it food? Better look that up for the next time we are there!

What great memories we made as a family!!

Thank you Lord for this time!!!
