Catching up with summer

We have been having such a fun and busy summer that we haven't posted pictures from much of June and July.  Here are a few highlights.  Unfortunately, Mom didn't get any pictures of Oma during her visit at the beginning of the month, but we sure did have a good time!

 

This baby bison is less than 30 minutes old and is nursing for the first time. 

You may see Leon Landry playing for the Mariners some day soon.  We can say we knew him when... and we have autographed baseballs.  We have gone to several Rainiers games this year, but had the most fun watching with our friends Tavis and Briker.

Fourth of July weekend feasting.

 

 Swimming in the Wenatchee River in Leavenworth.

We had a great weekend at Aunt Katy and Uncle Joe's house. First we had to cool off at the lake.

Good looking couple!

 

 We tie-dyed our shirts for the Bellingham Kids Traverse.  We are the Incredible E's.

I ran the 1 mile trail run Elsa biked the 1.5 mile mountain bike leg. We both did the 1/2 mile obstacle course and the 200 m. trek, and Nathan was our biggest fan.  Here we are running down the home stretch!

Cheering on other competitors.

First place finishers in their division, and AWESOME overall! 

Happy Father's Day!

We have great dads to celebrate in our family!

We celebrated our last full Nathan and Mom day before school is out for the summer.  It was a beautiful day for swimming at the lake!  We've had a great year together. 

Memorial Day Camping

Memorial Day weekend marks the beginning of our camping season.  Let the fun begin!

 

It all begins with the list.  Check out what Evan added to the bottom of our packing list.

 

Hiking through the wildflowers on our way up to Eight Mile Lake.

This view is worth the hike!

What Mom wanted was for the three of us, who were all sitting on the rocks, to turn around and smile.  This is what she got instead.

 

 Hiking along the Icicle Gorge.

So many lovely spots to stop and enjoy the river.

Radish Harvest

Blessed on Mother's Day and Everyday.
