Sisters & Smalltowniness

But I can't hang up the phone until I tell you
What I don't tell you enough... I'd do it all again
My sister // my friend.
My Sister // Reba McEntire // from Room to Breathe

Change that to "sisterS" and "friendS" and you've got it just about right.

Sure, we had moments we could do over, if given the chance. But I think all of us would agree that we had the BEST sisters in the entire world. =)


A few days ago, we got the chance to hit the town together!

pssst... completely iPhone pics ahead... don't shoot me, dSLR peoples, okay?

Our first stop was the pool... the FIRST pool trip of the summer - and on the first day of summer, too! How appropriate... =) After a few hours of splashing and getting sunburned and TRYING to dive off the board and not get in trouble with the lifeguards, we headed off to one of our favorite hangouts...


The Pizza Factory!

This place has more than good pizza... for us it has... well... sentimental value.


Gahhh, I love these girls! Look what a little caffeine can do...


Gee aint we a cute family...


Pizza arrives. Hannah wants to take picture of said pizza... and they get impatient. Gee whiz.


Yes, when the parents aren't with us, you see what we eat? (don't worry, we saved a few pieces for them....)


After pizza, we neeeeeeded some ice cream. Right? right. So we took a little trip to our soda fountain/antique store/bookstore/gift shop/random-place-of-old-small-town-stuff store. It's pretty much rural Washington all over - one of the town's oldest buildings.


And chock full of lovely stuff like... candy...


music, and homemade pies.


Me and my oldest-sister-super-cute chica.


okay, that's just how awesome we are, all right? this pretty much DEFINES my childhood/teenager life.

I think we got ONE nice one out of the lot.

Then we had to drive home. the LONG way.

Gorgeous country, let me tell you. Gorgeous.

Those of you who are on Instagram have already seen a lot of these...

Our vehicle of fantasticness. Made frequent stops to engage in awesome things such as... eating... swimming... and picture-taking.

Well, girls and guys, that's just about it. One fabulous evening with my marvelous sisters. (we missed you, Joe! but since you're a brother, you could have ruined the title of my post, and I really liked the way it sounded. But when you come home on Saturday, we shall do wonderful things. wonderful things... yes.)
