Lake Tapps Park, WA (some beautiful views)

Daddy getting Brooke's sandals on... By the way, check out the adorable outfit!! (courtesy of Janie & Jack, the best store ever!!!)

Below are some pics of Brooke in her pageant dress for States. A couple people have been asking me to see the dress (mom!) so here it is. I will get better pics soon of her that day with the whole get up (shoes, socks, etc)...she was so adorable.. but for now you can see her dress, and crown/sash/trophy

Yesterday we decided to get in the car and drive after dinner....we ended up in Bonney Lake (which is not to far away...maybe 10-15 minutes). We parked the car and walked around this area, and saw the most beautiful views. The homes here are a little under a million dollars (we saw the listings) and there was a lot of new construction. Below is the views from some of these homes back windows... pretty breath taking. On a clear day you can see the olympic mountain range, the valley, and the city of tacoma.

Another great look at Mount Rainier:
