Randomness

Dallin and his 2 best buds, Austin and Cade. 

Blackberry picking with Whitney and Evelyn.

 Ashlyn at the eye doctor. She had to have her eyes dilated. 

She was supposed to go to ballet right after, but not fun with dilated pupils, so we skipped.

Harris Beach

 We went to Gold Beach to do go on a jet boat ride, and we stopped at our favorite beach in Brookings. It was a beautiful, barely smokey day. Jordan and Michaela came with us.

 We found these amazing rock sculptures that we added too. Makes kind of a cool backdrop, doesn't it?

 These two! Love them. They are buddies.

Exploring in the tide pools.

camp stew

 Some phone pics. 

My only pic from the boat ride. I will have to steal Nate's phone and get his.

Last week

Tanner did Manny Basketball camps for 3 weeks this summer. He is getting in shape for middle school sports.

We are having lots of wild fires this year, as usual. No fun.

 We went swimming at the Grether's pool this week. I think we will be doing a lot of swimming until school starts back up. So nice to have access to a private pool. 

  

Swimming wore the girls out. So sweet. 

Washington trip with the kid

 We went up to Washington to visit Matt and Mickie family and have some fun with cousins. Nate stayed home since it was almost a whole week he'd have to take off of work. 

We were in town for Chick Fil A day, so we got free food when we dressed like cows. 

 We were also there for 711 day, on July 11th, so we got free slurpees.

Matt and Mickie have a big beautiful back yard that the kids got to run around in. 

We went to the lake one evening. It is right by Matt and Mickie's house.

The girls even practiced their stunts at the lake. :)

The boys went with Mickie and I on a hike while the girls were at their last day of camp. Isn't it a beautiful place to hike? I loved our time there. I got to take some pictures of 2 families and a senior while we were there also.

The girls did Cheer/Dance camp when we were there. The boys did a sports camp too, that was the main reason we went. I was lots of fun. Even a week later the girls are still doing their dances.

Here are some of their dances.
