The Important Post....

The important thing about Washington is that its terrain is varied & unique.

 

Its capital is Olympia

And it is in the Pacific Northwest.

It is the only state named after a president,

And pop is ridiculously over-priced.

But the important thing about Washington is that its terrain is varied & unique.

The important thing about Wenatchee is that it is where we all come together.

  

It is named after the Wenatchi Indians,

It rests along the Columbia & the Wenatchee Rivers,

And prides itself as The Apple Capital of the World.

Located in the center of Washington, it's at home between the mountains.

Grandpa & Grandma live here,
And we love all of the fun we have when we visit.

But the important thing about Wenatchee is that this is where we come together.

The important thing about Slide Waters is that it is fun for us all.

 

 

It is perched on a mountain,

And it overlooks Lake Chelan.

Every year we voyage there,

Spending a day playing in the sun.

But the important thing about Side Waters water park is that it is fun for us all.

The important thing about Leavenworth is that it takes you to another place. 

 

It is embraced by snow-capped mountains,

And graced with a Bavarian flare.

It has great Christmas shops,

And ice cream, and lollipops.

But the important thing about Leavenworth is that it takes you to another place.

The important thing about The Owl Soda Fountain shop is that it serves ice cream.

It is old-fashioned & charming,

It has a counter with spinney stools. 

And we go once a summer for a tasty treat.

But the important thing about The Owl is that it serves ice cream.

The important thing about Aunt Heidi is that she's our aunt.

She's our dad's younger sister,

And she lives in Spokane.

She plays with us,

And does projects with us.

And she has a silly laugh.

But the important thing about Aunt Heidi is that she's our aunt.

The important thing about Uncle Kevin is that he is fun.

He is married to our aunt, Heidi,

And he has a bushy beard.

He hails from Nebraska,

And he's not afraid to put us in line.

But the important thing about Uncle Kevin is that he is fun.

The important thing about Grandpa Phillips is that he loves our grandma. 

It is true that he is smart,

And he likes to play golf,

And he has a giant heart.

But the important thing about Grandpa Phillips is that he loves our Grandma.

The important thing about Grandma Phillips is that she's all ours. 

She takes us to the park,

And treats us to toys....

and gum....

and ice cream.

And she always greets us with a hug & a smile.

There isn't anything we don't love about our snow cone makin' granny.

But the important thing about Grandma Phillips is that she's all ours.
