Beat the Heat

The summer weather has officially arrived in Seattle. It has been unusually warm (over 90 degrees) for the last few days so we have spent time fishing/swimming in the Snoqualmie River and taking our boat out on Lake Sammamish. It is definitely the best way to beat the heat around here since we don't have AC

4th of July on Vashon

The 4th of July on Vashon has been a one of my favorite family traditions since I was a little girl. This year I decided to take the week off and head up to the cabin a few days early with Kallie before Eric and the Boatman's joined us. We had a great time. The week consisted of the usual beach activities; going to the park uptown, agate walks, fishing, water fights, swimming and of course lots and lots of fireworks. Happy 4th of July!

Go Sounders!

This morning I decided to surprise Kallie with tickets to the Sounders game. Since her love for soccer grows every day I thought it would be a perfect thing to do on a Sunday afternoon. We left early so we could get the full experience which included exploring outside the stadium, hot dogs, popcorn, watching the teams warm up and cheering the entire game. We had a great day!
