Boating on Lake Washington

Enjoying the summer on Grandpa Dan's boat. Caramel and Rhett are always braving the tube. Myles and Camellia enjoy the boat. Rhett got to bring a lot a friend.

Ensign Ranch Camping

Best Brothers

I took the 3 younger kids camping up in at Ensign Ranch in Cle Elum. We stay in these tiny little cabins with bunk beds on both sides. There were a few other families that had a cabin as well. The highlight was the huge slip and slide. They kids loved it! They also had their bikes to ride around. Myles loved the cabin and setting up his around with his suitcase, chair, and food. I was a long night with Camellia falling off the top bunk (she was fine) and Rhett having night terrors. 

Anthony, Caramel, and Grandma Brenda joined us on Saturday. Caramel and Rhett rode on a horse I led around. Anthony and his friend had a lot of fun on the slip and slide too!

Kickball and Cami's Sad Eye

This was such a sad day - poor Camellia's eye. She woke up with it a little puffy then by the end of the day it was basically shut. I had to sneak a picture. She was very annoyed if anyone mention her eye. I am not sure what happened, I think it was a mosquito bite?? We are at Ridgewood Elementary playing kickball with some other families. 

Myles Rolling Blading

Anthony took the Caramel, Rhett, and Myles rolling blading. Myles has gone a couples times now and is slowly getting the hang of it. It is great to see him all sweaty and tired!

Rattlesnake Ridge

On our anniversary Anthony and I climbed up Rattlesnake Ridge. We missed the big sign some how and started up a steep trail after. We finally found the real trail after seeing some hikers in the distance. There was a great view of Rattlesnake Lake at the top and we ate lunch.

After hiking of course we went shopping. Anthony found this amazing reflective jacket and bought 2 of them. I bought and cozy sweater.

Bike Riding at Seward Park

 Seward Park is a great place to enjoy Seattle nature with the kids. We love the playground area with the zip line and ropes.

We brought bikes and went around the loop, I think it is 2 miles. There is a great view of I-90 bridge in the distance and fun pond areas with turtles. The kids tried to catch some of the turtles.

Swim Team Rolling Hills

These pictures are from the last swim meet with all the teams they swam against in Kirkland. Caramel did a great job. I am very proud of her and how much she improved. At the end of the season Caramel got most improved swimmer for her age range. She always wanted to go to practice and meets because she loves the social aspect of it all. She was lucky to not have any ear problems, and covered her ears most of the time with her swim cap.
