August-part 1

August started out with another trip to Moses Lake, the kids love that place.  Brooklyn asks me at least once a week when we can go to Moses Lake.  I try to tell her in the summer but then she just asks when will it be summer.  It is a never ending conversation that we have had several times.  

Lucy just chillin' on the boat.  (not our boat, our friends' boat)

Billy wake boarding.

That is our friend Skyler in the background. (yes, he landed it)

The kids took turns getting thrown off the boat.

Lucy, by far, flew the highest and farthest.  (Probably has something to do with the fact that she weighs nothing.)

I promised you a video of Noah wake boarding way back in July, well here it is.

We also spent a few day over in Bremerton and took a drive up to Fort Warden.  The kids had a great time on the beach with their cousins.

They had a great time building this sand castle.

The Jessee's and Richmond's 

We also went and explored the battle stations at Fort Warden, it was pretty cool but very creepy! 

Also in August, our friends, the Ketner's invited us to go spend a weekend in La Conner.  Their family owns a cabin right on the water.  It was soooo fun.   We love just hanging out with them and it helps that our kids are really good friend too.

This is Noah and Jaden, they are the best of best friends, seriously these two could and should be brothers, well actually they like each other a lot more than brothers usually do.  Anyways, they met in preschool about the same time Jaden's mom, Jenny, and I met at the gym.  Soon we couldn't go a day without one of them asking for a play date with the other and thus, the friendship was born.

Look at these 2 ready to take on the world!

Let me backtrack a little further, One day Jenny and I were on the treadmills at the gym and she mentioned that they were thinking about booking a trip to Disneyland, I stopped, looked at her and told her that just that weekend we had booked a trip to disneyland.  It turns out we were going at the same time.  We of course didn't tell our kids so imagine Noah's surprise when we walk into Disneyland and there is his best friend Jaden.  It was priceless.  

Back to the present, this is Lucy and Jessica, they met and became friends on the Disneyland trip.  They have become very close friends since, so now we usually swap Jessica or Jaden for Lucy or Noah so everyone is happy.

We had a camp fire right on the beach and roasted marshmallows

Even Mercedes got to come, she enjoyed wandering the beach and getting dirty.

Lucy and Jessica had a lot of fun on the kayaks.

We always like a good card game.

And we caught a ton of crab.  YUMMY!

Uh oh, I think I might be jealous!
