Camp Orkila

Finally you get your turn to go to overnight camp, this is something you have wanted to do for a few years now.   I dropped you off on Tuesday bright and early so you could make the trek to the San Juans and spend the week at Camp Orkila (with Maddie of course).  Camp is device free but they did post photos daily and I can tell you are having a great time!

Today is your last day of camp and we pick up at this evening.  We cannot wait to hear about all of your adventures and great friends you have made over the last week! 

Update:  You got off the bus with a huge smile and told me it was the best camp ever and a perfect week!  You shared so many fun stories and had the time of your life ziplining, kayaking, gaga ball, island night (sleepover), meeting your squad, bullseye during archery, games in your cabin, dressing up/dancing (goof something?), playing cards, polar bear swim  - you loved it all!

4th of July - Vashon Style

 Happy 4th of July from Vashon.  This year we decided to stay for 5 days and enjoy the sunny weather!  There were so many people out and about it was super fun.   We hit our favorite spots:  Country Store, kids walked to Sandy's, walked to point looking for deer and lots of happy hour on the deck.    Kallie was busy with cousins and friends boating, kayaking, paddle boarding (with Murphy), smores and more.  The fireworks were insane around the beach this year even though they are supposedly banned (loudest year yet); thankfully the barge was there too and put on a great show!  Sadly Eric got the flu so wasn't able to join us.
