We spent a lot of the summer on Lake Sammamish this year, and met up with friends there on a number of occasions. Here is a collection of pics from July:

The kids had a great summer swim season. It was nice to finally get to experience a partially normal season, with some in-person meets with the other pools. Layla swam Little Tiger Sharks and swam at the home meets. The boys all did Tiger Sharks.

Auntie Ashleigh and Uncle Mark came to visit at the end of July. We took them out on Lake Sammamish one day and had a fun time catching up and playing in the sunshine!

In July we went to California to visit family. We had a great time and took a lot of pictures, so I’m splitting the post into a few. Here we are in the rental car:

On the plane. Kids were good about wearing their masks.

Hanging out at Uncle Brad and Aunt Julie’s

One night we went to see Julie’s son, Dylan, and his band perform at the Wayfarer.

At Uncle Brians. These two had a sleepover there.

Checking out his model planes

Fun fact, Uncle Brad is Mayor of Newport Beach! We got a kick out of watching part of a City Council meeting one night.

Took a pic of some mailers for posterity
