Back on the Lake...

We're back & we are loving it!  First on the kiddos agenda, as always...fishing!  Ava got a new & more kid friendly fishing pole this year & was excited as ever to try it out!  First catch...a CATFISH!!  Wow!...What a catch!  (Rumor is they haven't caught, or even seen a catfish in the Lake in 20+ years!)  Nice work Ava...or as we now call her...Ava Jean the Catfish Queen!

Adam & Ava with their 1st catches of the trip...

Ava's catfish & Adam's sunfish...

Off on the Moomba...

Back on the zip sled...

Ava's 1st time on the zip sled...

Taking it slow...makes for a happy girl!

Knitting...

Our very creative Ava found the hole punch, asked for some yarn or string & then after being busy (& quiet!) for quite some time came & showed us her masterpiece!  She said she was..."Knitting, like Grandma!"  Great job Aves!

Happy Anniversary to Us!

We had lots of gorgeous dahlias at Trader Joe's & I just couldn't resist getting a bunch of our wedding flower (in our colors!) in honor of our 9th Anniversary...Love you babe!

Busy Beach!

Madison Park was the place to meet up with Nana & the Hurley Clan to swap back all the kiddos...who knew it was going to be such a fabulous day...which meant for a busy beach scene in Madison Park...literally it was body to body! (The picture doesn't even seem to capture how many people there were!)  When the sun comes out in Western Washington...so do the Washingtonians!

'Girl's Weekend' with Nana...

Nana wanted to have her grand-daughters for the weekend for some girlie time...off to the 'Beauty Shop' and out to lunch they went!...What fun!

Thanks for the photos, Nana!

Camp Out!

Good night!

Bella Bella with Ryder...

Of course we had to take Ryder to our favorite beach, Bella Bella, on such a gorgeous day!  The tide was out which made for some great explorations...

Ryder found a Hermit Crab...

Off went 'Hermie'...

What fun the boys had!

Ryder's Here!

Ryder has come for the weekend (while Ava & Ashtyn are off to Nana's...photos to follow!)  & what better way to start the weekend than with a water balloon fight...Uncle Kevin/Daddy vs. Ryder & Adam!  (I'll stick to being the photographer!)

The Winner...depends on who you ask!

Happy 4th of July!
