Here’s the rest of what we were up to in August:

For our anniversary, we went boating on Lake Washington and Lake Union. The big boys were rafting the Deschutes with Nana and Frank, so it was just the four of us.

We got out on the boat as much as we could this summer. We never got into salt water this season, mostly played at Lake Sammamish and went to Lake Washington and Lake Union a couple of times. I decided to lump all the pictures together in one post.

The kids all did summer swim league on the Snoqualmie Tiger Sharks team again. Here are a bunch of pics from the season:

Uncle Brian flew back from California with us and stayed a couple days before traveling on to see Grammy & Papa and the Avery’s of Pullman. We took him to the new hydroelectric museum over by Snoqualmie Falls.


 

We watched the Flyover at the Boeing Classic

I loved some of the textures at the museum, so I had Layla pose for a few shots while we were there:

We went to Newport Beach in early August and had a great time visiting as usual.

We did some playing at the beach.

Jumping in

Uncle Brad took us to City Hall and gave us the grand tour. Avery got to meet with the City Manager and ask questions, and the rest of the kids checked things out a bit more.

Playing at the beach some more – I think this was at Crystal Cove
