Camping Trip

We spent an entire week camping (yes, in a tent!) and exploring the Olympic National Forest.  It was amazing!!! 

  Our campsite overlooked the ocean.  Pretty rad view, huh??!!

Joshua lost his very first tooth right before we hiked to the waterfalls at Sol Duc.
‘Smores time!  The kids really looked forward to making these each night.

Happy Birthday to Ian!

Ian had a Samurai themed party this year…not sure how or why he came up with that, but he did and we went with it!  So, we hit up the local Japanese market for supplies:  a super cool head band that says “Master-less Samurai”, paper lanterns for decoration, paper dragons, a Samurai sword, and some miscellaneous candies and a few odds and ends for the sushi and tempura we had for his birthday dinner.  Turned out fab!

Check it out…a VEGAN chocolate cake/mint chocolate chip ice cream cake.  So good!

Present time!!!

Zachary and Ian had a fantastic time at Boy Scout Camp (July 24 - 30)!  They earned several merit badges and accomplished a lot of guy stuff.  I wish I had more photos!


While the big kids were gone, we went to the Great Wolf Lodge for a couple days!  Again, I wish I had more photos.  But, we spent almost all of our time in the pool and that’s not a great place for my camera!
