The Happy Campers Club




We were lucky enough to be included in this super fun annual camping event!
We headed east to Lake Pearrygin (just outside of Winthrop). It was HOT! Like, SUPER HOT!!! The campsites were perfect....right on the lake! I think Avery would have spent every waking moment in the water if we had let her! :) And somehow I didn't get ONE picture of the kids in the water?! Not sure how I let that happen???? Oh well........



There were also lots of other fun things to do! Crafts like t-shirt and visor making, jump rope and 4-square, pedicures, a Kid Triathlon and much, much more! :) The kids all had a blast! (The adults had our own good times as well! :) Many occurring by the campfire once all the kids were in bed!)

Annalise found her own things to do as well. Such as cruising the road. She got going pretty fast, too. She definitely became more stable on her feet throughout the week! Her balance improved significantly on the wobbly ground! She also wanted to keep up with the big kids.....thankfully she had her buddy Ella to talk to about that! They'll be running alongside them next summer!


We took a trip into Winthrop one afternoon. Avery played some miniature golf with the other kids and then we all enjoyed a YUMMY ice cream cone afterward! :)



So.....many thanks for an AWESOME time to the Sutherlands,


The McCormacks,
And the Erlandsons! (Sorry no pic of the Erlandsons.....we forgot to try again!)

We all had a great time!!!!

4th of July



We had a WONDERFUL time hanging out at Uncle Geoff and Auntie Robin's house for the 4th! Mark and Geoff took Avery to the fireworks stand to get a few little things. There were also quite a few families doing fireworks in the cul de sac and the surrounding neighborhoods. Lots to watch!! She had a blast....and at 11:00 that night she told us she had the "best day of her whole life"! :) Too cute!


Scott and Erica also came over with their two kids. Bryson will be 3 at the end of the month and Lila turned 1 in March.

We had a great 4th of July!! :) Maybe we can talk them into moving back to Bellingham???? We sure miss our Geoff and Robin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Berries Are Ready!!



We headed out for our annual strawberry picking on Saturday at Boxx Berry Farm. They were extra ripe and ready!!! Grandma and Grandpa were visiting from Spokane which made the adventure even more special! Annalise had a great first picking experience! :) She loves the berries just as much as her big sister!!! The sun was shining and it was a great day!


P.S.
The strawberry spinach salad and strawberry shortcake were pretty good, too! :)
