Our Fun Summer is Coming to an End!

One of my huge sunflowers! We are waiting for the seeds.
Boys just wrestlin'- an everyday occurrence, not just in the summer.
Kellen did 2 swim sessions and now he is a fish. We have tried to swim a lot, he loves it and does so great! He is preparing for our pool...someday!
We went with Dan and Andrea and girls for a hike through a cave. The hike is great for kids, not too long with a big reward in the end- a pitch black cave and then a water fall too!
Along with swimming, Kellen also learned to ride a bike with no training wheels. This was a cousin effort. While we were camping the dads took the training wheels off to see how the kids would do and Abby and Kellen got it. They were so excited and had so much fun.
For our camping trip with the Whitemarsh family we went to Salt Creek. It is up by Port Angeles on the Puget Sound/Straight of Juan de Fuca. In the morning when the tide was low we went exploring. Scott is holding a crab. We saw lots of crab and other sea stuff that I can't spell.
Again, out on the rocks at low tide exploring. Salt Creek was a great place for family camping. The kids had a great time exploring and did pretty well playing together.
On the way home he rode the Ferry across into Seattle. The kids thought is was great, it was a good way to change up the long drive home.
On the Ferry Boat.

Hey Kindra! Congrats on potty training - I need to do it with Porter now that summer is over and things are winding down - it's just so much work I can't make myself start. So thanks for the words of encouragement. Maybe I'll start....next week. :) Your camping trip looks like fun! Of course everybody knows where Port Angeles is...it's where Edward rescued Bella from the scary guys. haha. (have you read those books?) :) We need to get together again soon!
