Today we went up to Leavenworth! We left a little early, at least for us, about 8:30.
Our first potty break, in Index.
Lon got to play this time. He loves playgrounds
The log is still over the falls. The water is much lower than it was last time. (if you want to see the changes, go back and look at Mark's rafting trip blog from June)
Watching the water
At the Munchen Haus for hot dogs, lemonade and pretzels. Mark had the curry ketchup, I had a little of that, some apricot mustard, dill relish, onions and the apple cider sauerkraut. YUMMY! I think the hot dog was an afterthought, all the stuff on it was so good.
After lunch, we walked around town to look at the shops. It was fun. There was a cheese fez at the Cheesemonger's shop that I had to have Lon try on. He was a good sport about it.
Listening to the scarecrow at Smallwoods. He tells the same story for every quarter you deposit.
We had fun playing out side even though it was 95 degrees. Sadly, the cow rides are only on the weekends, but we dealt with it.
The tire swing! It was fun, then Lon remembered he was timid and had to stop. At least he had some fun before he stopped.
Our next stop was Cashmere. We finally got to the Pioneer Museum. It was so much fun. There is alot in that little museum. Well worth the stop. Lon got a sheet of paper with things he needed to find, once he found them, he x'd them out. Once the whole page was completed he turned it in for a prize. He was so proud of himself for getting all the items. I was his partner for the adventure and we had a good time. The buildings were outside and even though it was very hot, it was so interesting. All the buildings but the mission were real old building. Mainly built in the late 1800s. They were furnished appropriately too! Lon liked the printers building. I reminded him he saw a printers at Mystic Seaport and Colonial Willamsburg. He does not remember Williamsburg. Maybe next year we will fix that.
He found the brass elephant!! The bonus item! It was at the Millener's shop.
Beauty shot of the Pioneer Museum
After the museum, sadly my camera ran out of battery! I forgot to charge it last night. I did not take photos at the Aplets and Cotlets factory. Which we had fun looking at all of it. We went up to the Mission Creek Cider Mill. Tasted some more cider, while we did not buy any this time, we did buy some condiments. We played with the resident dogs too. Snickers and Truffle. So adorable. Even if they were little dogs. They had great personalities. We stopped for dinner at the 59 Diner. Surprisingly good. The burger I had was wonderful, even if it was messy. The milk shakes were incredible. This is something that alot of people, except us, know! While we were eating, we saw alot of people come in just for milk shakes. We need to do that next time we drive by. The best part is they have the tinytiny kid size shake. It was in a mini glass. Looked like a shrunken version of mine, but it only held about 1/2 cup. This was the perfect size for him. He drank it all, and ate all his corn dog. We will stop there again. It was a fun day. I did not even fall asleep in the car!
