Summer fun

 

Homerun #2 at the Swinging Into Summer Tournament.  She had to wear the taco hat after that hit!
We went to see Jordan Davis at the Chateau St Michelle winery.  It was hot day, but a beautiful venue.  Will definitely be back for another concert!

Rylee and I spent the night at the beach after one of her tournaments.  It was a beautiful night as usual.  Rylee had to go out and get some sunset pics!
Carson went a loooong time without a haircut.  He had a pretty awesome afro!
Lots of boat time was had.  Swimming, tubing, bridge jumping, rope swinging, floating, fishing and friends.  I barely got any pictures which means we were having too much fun!
Landon's bday.  The boys had a great time golfing, batting, go carting and swimming.
16 year anniversary.  Spent most of the day at the ballpark with Rylee's team, but were able to make it home in time for a quick dinner at Windmill.  It was delicious!
Papa Tom visited and we took him to play mini golf.  It was a great time!
Rylee joined a new select softball team for the upcoming season.  They had their first "meet and greet" at the end of the summer.  She seems to like the team so far.  Hopefully it will be a great year!
Annual Sequim summer BBQ.  Kona got to go for the first time and she was a big hit!  It was a jam packed, fun filled summer.  I wish it wasn't over so soon!

Naches River camping- labor day weekend

 

We camped at Squaw Rock for labor day again this year.  It was so much fun last year we decided to camp there again.  We had a great campsite right on the river.
Lance and Carson spent some time fly fishing.

We spent lots of time in/ on the river.  Even Kona did some river floating!  She's so funny.  She wants to do everything the kids do.
Lance drove us about 2 miles up river and then dropped us off.  We floated back to the campground while he stopped and fished along the way.  It was so much fun!
We had dinner one night at the brewery in Naches, Bron Yr Aur.  Delicious pizza and margaritas on tap!  Another great camping weekend in the books!  We'll definitely be back.

Camping with Uncle Peter


Uncle Peter took the kids on their annual hiking trip.  They did the Dungeness Trail this year.
Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate and they hiked in the rain for most of the trip.  They were good sports and made the best of it!
Rylee took lots of pics for me. 😊
They always have a good time with Uncle Peter.
Lance met them for burgers after the trip.  He took Kona to the beach while waiting for them.  The kids are already planning next years adventure!

Round Lake State Park and Silverwood


We went to Idaho for a few days.  We stayed at Round Lake State Park.  It was one of the best state parks I've been to!  The lake was gorgeous.

We went to the Boulder Beach water park.  It started off as a sunny day and then got a little colder towards the end of the day.  The good part is it cleared out the water park so the lines were a lot shorter!
We went to Silverwood theme park the next day.  We waited in a lot of long lines... but it was so much fun!  There were some great roller coasters there.
Our favorite rides were Aftershock and Tremors- the crazy fast wooden coaster.  Stunt Pilot was a blast too.

The last day we hung out at the state park.  We hiked around the lake, fished, kayaked, and the kids searched for invasive snails.
Kona loved hiking around the lake.  She's such a little adventure dog!
The kids took Kona out in the kayak and found 195 invasive snails.  They tuned them in to the visitor center for 11 ice cream bars!
Lance and I hung out at the beach while the kids kayaked around.  It was such a beautiful day!
It was such a great trip with lots of family time.  I would love to come back to this campground someday!
