Camping for Boy Scouts

We took Everlong to Blake Island in March for our first overnight trip. Blake Island is about 10 miles southwest of Seattle and was a logical (and fun) place to try first. Here we are heading through the Ballard Locks.

When we came through Shilshole, we went through a sailboat race

Happy sea dog

We’re here!

The island is full of raccoons! In fact, you can’t leave ANY food out or doors unlocked, as they will come aboard and help themselves to anything they please.

The kids had a great time exploring in the dinghy

Aaargh, triscuits!

First family dinner aboard

Breakfast!

We saw orcas! What a wonderful surprise!

Heading back through the locks

A few treasures from Layla

Silas turned lucky eleven this year. Although he will always be our “Sunny Si”, lately we’ve been seeing a bit more of “Spicy Si” – perhaps it’s because he’s getting closer to the teenage years? At eleven, Silas is full of energy, has a lot to say, and is incredibly driven and motivated. He is active in choir, Boy Scouts, is a crossing guard, plays basketball, piano, and enjoys skiing and swimming. This kid will try just about anything! He is a good friend and is such a sweet boy. We love him to pieces! Happy birthday, Silas!

Make a wish!

With Jody and Darcey

Jonathan and I have been thinking about and looking for a new boat for more than a year. We finally found the one for us! She’s a 1973 36′ Grand Banks Trawler, Everlong. We look forward to many adventures with the kids on Lake Washington and exploring the San Juan’s.

Yesterday we went through the Ballard Locks when I heard someone calling my name. It was my friend, Lindsay Kokich with her son and daughter. Jackson was Avery’s original best friend and we spent a lot of time together as new moms. She took these pics of us at the locks. Such a small world!
