Tei & Wes - August 2008

First, they played in the grass, water and dirt.

Then they washed it all off.

Skagit Island - July 2008

Papa, Jon, Aaron, Elliot & Randy took Papa's boat out to Skagit Island, a tiny islet with only one campsite, and caught more crab than they could devour.

Randy with a pot full of crab:

Elliot pulls in another...

apparently really heavy pot...

of crab!

The 4th @ Nana's - July 2008

My parents are incredibly hospitable people - together we planned a big shin-dig to celebrate the 4th of July and invited our friends & family to enjoy tons of delicious food, copious amounts of fireworks purchased at Boom City, and the ordinances of Snohomish County which allow us to blow it all up in their back yard. Their big back yard was filled with family and friends all day playing, blowing bubbles, catching up, eating & drinking, & making sparks fly. I was so busy visiting and playing with the kids I didn't get as many photos of all the lovely people who were there as I wish I had - but here are a few:
