Jonathan & Lindsey's Family Blog

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

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!

Turns out Kieron is a pretty good shot!

Covid finally hit our house in late July. Kieron woke up one morning and threw up. Avery had a mild cough & congestion. They were supposed to leave for Boy Scout camp in a couple days, so out of caution we tested them both. Kieron was positive, Avery negative. Kieron went into isolation in his room, which he enjoyed for the first couple days, but it got old pretty quick. The rest of us went into home isolation, which also got old. We had to cancel camp, which was a big bummer. Fortunately, Kieron had no symptoms after the first day and no one else caught Covid. Here are some pics of what he/we spent the week doing.

Meal time!

We got some home projects done – including naming our boat – since it’s going to stick around for a while

Everlong – one of our favorite Foo Fighters songs, and also the way we feel when we’re on the water – wish we could feel this way forever

We took this rail off

And put up a swing
