A Mini Vacation

The 3 of us went to Ocean Shores for just one night. While it was a short trip, it was so nice to slow down, sleep in and spend hours on the beach flying kites and building a sand castle.

Strawberries

What is summer without picking strawberries? Here we are with Grammy after picking.

A visit to Northwest Trek

Slugfest at Northwest Trek was a must. We had a great time! Thanks Diana, Ryan and Jack.

Summer is here!

Today we had a party for Brooke to celebrate her last day of school. We had terrific weather and an especially great time with friends!

The jumping castle...

... and pool, wore those kids out!

June Happenings

June has been a fun and busy month. Here are a few highlights:

6/1 Brooke brought Chinook to school for sharing day.

A proud moment indeed!

6/3 Laurie's birthday with delicious cupcakes made by Brooke and Grammy!

(Shhh... and chocolate mousse from Bob later)

6/3 An incredible b-day sunset!

6/5 Brooke enjoys playing goalie for the Sharks




6/6 A little frog decides to take residence on our porch...

... therefore a "frog habitat" is constructed!

6/7 Brooke and Dad begin building a rocket

6/9 A "fire in the sky" sunset

6/9 The first ripe strawberry from our garden.

6/13 Triplet babysitting fun

First Lemonade Stand

Two saw horses, one umbrella, a kid drawn sign, cups, lemonade, an adorable 5 year old and of course a tip jar! These are the components of a very successful lemonade stand! Add a hot day and especially some very generous old men and you are good to go!

Our Brooke sold cups of lemonade for 25 cents each at our community garage sale. She made a shocking amount of money in tips! I would not be surprised if she wanted to have a lemonade stand every day this summer. It was a lot of fun and thank you to our many generous visitors.
