We have been having a great fun filled Summer. Here are a bunch of pictures of what we've been up to.
Both kids were in swim class everyday for 2 weeks. They both did great and we signed them up for one more session starting in another week. The class is in a private pool and parents do not watch, so we don't really know how it's going until parents day on the last Friday. It was very impressive seeing how they were doing.

Parents join in and swim with the kids on parents day. Nolan loves dropping the rings in and going after them.

One sunny day we decided to find some free fun. We visited a park in Portland and fed the ducks. The kids loved it! I've never seen a loaf of bread disappear so quickly :)

Poy had to work on 4th of July this year, so the kids and I went to my parents house. My dad put on a great fireworks display for us. We had a lot of fun. Here are just a couple kid shots.

Anne-Elissa's husband Chris celebrated his 30th birthday mid July and we were invited up to his parents house in Bremerton. His parents live on the Puget Sound and it is just beautiful. We went up to Bremerton on Saturday and when we got there at noon, it was already blazing hot. Nolan was really excited to get out on the wave runner. We had many different trips out onto the water and we had SO MUCH FUN! We camped out in the yard for the night and went home Sunday morning. Chris and Anne-Elissa, thanks for having us come up. We can't wait to celebrate your 31st :)
This is the view from the house. It was beautiful!

Aren't they cute :)
Nolan and I on one of our last trips out. I think we got caught in a little rain storm. We were out and having so much fun it didn't matter that it was raining... then I saw lightning and thought we should probably come in. Nolan was a little speed demon with me! He and I would go max speed and he didn't even care when the water was spraying in his eyes.
