Florida Boys in Seattle!

 We got to finish the school year and start the summer with Devin and David here from Orlando.  It was so fun to have them.  It's so much work parenting younger kids!  Haha.  I forgot. But it got me out doing some fun things during that first week of summer.

The PNW beaches are NOT Florida beaches.  And Aunt Trish forgot towels every time we got wet. Fired.  Davey was shivering like crazy! 


Then we went to Lake Ballinger to paddle board.  Also too chilly outside.  Since it was sunny I thought it would be warm enough, but it wasn't!  Luckily there was a fun playground at the lake, so they loved that. 


Devin was teaching Davey to pump.  It was so cute.  He is almost there! 

Superman on the swings!  

Story/scripture time

We made chocolate chip cookies for our road trip

Loved cooking with them. 

Libby and Sarah took the boys to the zoo.  They had a blast.  

Libby's friend went with

Watch out! 

Then we drove to La Grande and met my parents to do the hand off to take them to Utah for the next few weeks.  It was a quick camping trip--but my parents enjoy the chance to use their trailer.  

I helped Papa put together the new grill he bought. 

Sarah whooped everyone in chess. 

Poor Davey had a cold.  So much coughing in the car.  Then lots of snot the next day.  



Devin was a good helper in getting the trailer all set up

Glad we'll get to see them again when we take Sarah to her writers workshop in Utah--and again at Tahoe!  It's going to be a fun summer.
