Cabo

Our good friend, Laura, celebrated her milestone birthday this year with a Cabo trip with roughly 50 of her nearest and dearest. We had an amazing time and made many memories!

We made it to the resort!

Chelan Family Trip

We spent the weekend after Labor Day at Lake Chelan. Our friends let use their house in exchange for putting in a porch gate. Our family from Pullman met us and we enjoyed a relaxing time together. I know the cousins had a lot of fun hanging out too. We enjoyed lots of good meals together, spent time at the pool, lake and in the hot tub and enjoyed the beautiful views and each other’s company.

Andrew’s Bay

We invited some friends to join us on Andrew’s Bay the weekend before Labor Day. We took the boat out Saturday night and stayed overnight. Our friends joined us for a full day on Sunday. In all, there were six families and we had an amazing time on the water!


 

 

Laura was brave and tried a local boater’s foil. It looks hard to master!

Roche Harbor

After two days at Sucia, we headed to my favorite bougie-quaint spot, Roche Harbor. We were there one night, just long enough to do all our favorite things.

It’s always fun to walk to the Mausoleum



Dinner date


Heading home

Kieron did the driving while we waited at the Locks, keeping the boat in place and eventually docking us on the wall. They are preserving water right now, so since we were the only boat there, we had to wait an hour to see if anyone else showed up before they would let us through.

He did such a good job, Jonathan decided to let him drive us through the locks and on and off the wall! He did amazing and stayed calm and cool. We were so proud of him!

Sucia

After the kids wrapped up sailing camp, we left from Bellingham and headed to Sucia to unplug for a couple of nights. It’s a beautiful island with several “fingers”, making for lots of fun shoreline and nooks and crannies to explore. There isn’t much there aside from a couple of docks, a lot of trails and some composting potties. It’s a busy place for boaters who want an environment that feels more remote and less developed.

The kids discovered a large family of playful otters.

This is the otter’s home





Lots of boats anchored





We finally broke out the BBQ



Lots of driftwood here

We thought this cool rock looked like an eagle
