We spent Memorial Day weekend in Chelan with Nana. The weather was pretty good...and from what I hear it was amazing compared to Seattle and Spokane. It was dry, mostly sunny and about 68 degrees. We stayed at Campbell's Resort and had a great ground floor room that opened right to the grass and the beach. The big girls spent hours playing in the sand. They each played in their own style. Clare made a restaurant and served us food and drinks. She had tables and chairs and an oven and a payment system of leaves. It was quite well developed pretend play. Molly sat in the sand, threw sand, tried to do forward rolls in the sand....I think she even ate the sand. She was covered from head to toe and it took a while to get it all out of her hair, but she was happy so we were happy. Gretchen mostly watched from afar and enjoyed the warm sun and the lake breeze. We all swam in the pool and both girls were quite proud that they could hold their breath and put their faces in the water.
I have decided this is my new favorite water destination. As much as I love the ocean the Washington (and Oregon) coasts are so cold and damp that it is hard to always enjoy the water. Chelan was sunny and beautiful. I am certain we will return and if I can talk Tad into it we will go again this year.
***One note for others who might like to visit....Memorial Day weekend in Chelan is VERY busy with "young" people. Everywhere was crowded and there were security measures in place at the hotel, but we didn't have any trouble and all the people didn't bother us. There were lots of other families, too and the kids played and played.
