| Getting ready to row across the lake to Gramma's. Day one. |
 |
| Dinner on the dock with cousins. |
 |
| In Grammie's swing. |
 |
| That's my girl. |
 |
| Hey! When did we get a teenager? |
 |
| Looking for crabs. |
 |
| Climbing the rocks at Boulevard Park. |
 |
| Harper loves her brothers so, so much. |
 |
| Finn contemplates life. |
 |
| Racing with Uncle Jules at Boulevard Park. |
 |
| Grandkids and Gramma in the hot tub. |
 |
| Playing in the giant boxes that the hot tub arrived in. Maybe this is our future? |
 |
| Mardi Gras beads thrown from the deck. |
 |
| Owen and Bennett performed 2 songs in Spanish at the talent show. They were awesome!!! |
 |
| And Jason played us one of his new songs. Excellent. Truly. |
 |
| Aunt Elizabeth taught us how to make these drums out of buckets, giant balloons and duct tape. So cool. |
 |
| S'mores. |
 |
| Finn painting his fish. Deb had all the kids paint a fish in coordinating colors, which she will hang on her fence in a "school." Every year the kids will paint a new fish, and they will also be hung on the fence. It will be so fun for the kids to look and remember which fish they painted which year. |
 |
| Elise, Elizabeth, Bennett and Gramma. |
 |
| Justise and Finn. |
 |
| We made Mardi Gras masks. |
 |
| Games at Whatcom Falls Park. |
 |
| Uncle Jonny helped Finn with the race. |
 |
| Harper at Gramma Linda's. |
 |
| Owen worked so hard on a story involving the characters of the game Candyland. Illustrations and all! |
 |
| At Larabee State Park with Grandma Katherine! |
 |
| Natalie and Lee, the lovebirds. |
 |
| Bennett at the rope swing. |
 |
| JUMP! |
 |
| Aunt Leslie and Harper. |
 |
| Jake jumped in to Uncle Lee. This was a really big deal, because it was before he conquered his fears of swimming, which happened a couple of days later. Yay! Brave boy! |
 |
| Speaking of brave boys... here goes Finn! |
 |
| Yay, Finn! (with Christian and Jon) |
 |
| At the Marine Science Center, checking out the sea creatures. |
 |
| With my parents at the harbor. |
 |
| I am a GIANT in this picture with Grammie Deb. |
 |
| Having lunch in Fairhaven Village. This is an outdoor movie theater. How cool is that? Logan needs one. |
 |
| This is Lee rescuing Harper's shoe, which she dropped off the boardwalk, and which took about 1/2 hour to wash up onto shore. I'm so glad we got it! Thanks, Lee! In the meantime while we waited for the shoe to drift to shore, we watched 5 otters playing along the water's edge. It was amazing! |
 |
| Grammie Deb and Harper. |
 |
| Hanging out at Taylor Dock. Is that what it's called? Anyway. |
 |
| Finn and Grandpa. |
 |
| Grandma and sleeping Harper... so cute. |
 |
| Cookie monster and proud Grandpa, downtown Bellingham. |
 |
| Me and Jake at the lake. |
 |
| We went to Harbor Days in Blaine to see pirate ships! |
 |
| I love my mama! |
 |
| I dare you to try to find a prettier place to eat dinner! |
 |
| So precious. |
 |
| The last day of our trip. The boys had to jump in. |
 |
| Owen's first time off the diving platform with no life jacket! He passed the swim test this year! |
 |
| Saying goodbye to Lake Whatcom. |
 |
| Bennett took this photo of the girls. |
 |
| Oh how I love these people! |
