August

Catching up a bit here... the summer is winding down and we have been busy, busy trying to enjoy it as much as we can for the last month.  Here is some of our August fun.

Lopez Island camping.  Such a fun weekend with family, these kids really do enjoy the outdoors.  The girls slept great in the tent and although we were close to packing up after a rainy Sunday morning, I'm glad we stuck it out because the weather turned great.

We spent some days at a local river. I have a lot of childhood memories hanging out at rivers; from camping riverside in the middle of nowhere to leaf boat races in Pittsburgh.  It was fun to see the girls having the same fun.  Notice who is sitting in the water... she lasted about 30 seconds before plopping right down.  The girls practiced throwing rocks and had a blast splashing around.  We didn't exactly come prepared the first time we visited, so don't judge the outfits.  I see nothing wrong with dressed tucked into rolled up leggings and undies :-)  The second time wasn't much better... but at least I brought a towel!

 

 

 



 

And a visit to Remlinger Farms with the Wallace family (my college roommate and her family).  We don't see them very often, but it is always fun to catch up and the kids have a blast together.
