Here are a few more pics of our Lake Sammamish shenanigans at the end of summer.

Over the summer Jonathan went on a few hikes with friends. Here are some pics of the gang and their adventures.

Jonathan and I celebrated eighteen years of marriage in Bellingham by ourselves. We went boating on Lake Whatcom and visited some of our favorite spots in town.

Jonathan found me a big heart-shaped rock on Reville Island

Shrimp and grits at The Fork

You know the saying about when life gives you lemons? When Kieron tested positive for Covid right before Boy Scout Camp we were all super bummed Avery and Kieron wouldn’t be able to join their troop at Camp Meriwether (which was Jonathan’s favorite Boys Scout camp location growing up). So we got creative and Jonathan jumped through hoops to get his certification so he could take the boys once our isolation ended. These three got to be their very own pod at Camp and had a blast making memories together!

Beach camping!

At the pump track

Turns out Kieron is a pretty good shot!
