We took our annual Washington trip August 6-12 this year. It is fun because we seem to be together for Eme's birthday each year and it is fun to be all together to celebrate one family birthday a year. We started off our trip with Shane and Katelyn's reception at the Institute Building in Bellingham. It was great to see the Hatch family together and reconnect with Dane's cousins, aunts and uncles, and Nan and Pop. East and Hatcher became little buddies and Hatcher couldn't put down his guitar (or piano as he called it). It is so fun that our kiddos have cousins to play with on both sides of the family. It was great to be together with Dane's family again.
