Summer 2017 Highlights

Well the craziness of fall has finally subsided a bit so now I can finally catch up on some important blog posts.  I'm cheating and labeling them as the date I wish I had written them though just so they're captured more in line with when they actually happened. 

Beyond Debby's surprise 70th birthday party and our great camping trip with the Spauldings, there were lots of other fun summer adventures that I wanted to make sure to capture.  Wow summer seems like a distant memory now.  But it was a good one.  Here is the walk down summer memory lane through photos:

A fun Lake Union boat ride for Father's Day




A great Mariners game against the Astros and the first time the boys experienced Fireworks Night at Safeco Field



A family hike on Denny Creek Trail

Megs traveled to LA to see old college friends and celebrate Rachael's wedding

We had this fantastic spontaneous family day in late July.  Started off at the Bright Horizons Truck Day event, went to Burbank Park in Mercer Island and it was a hot day so we decided to cool off by seeing Cars 3 at the movie theater.  Finished off the day by meeting Gramma & Grampa at Cactus for dinner, got gelato and walked around Kirkland waterfront.

Visited Papa's work at Boeing Family Day and on the same day watched the Blue Angels for Seafair and celebrated James' birthday at Stoneburner restaurant in Ballard
Had a super fun long weekend celebrating our friend Carter's 40th birthday at Suncadia.  Rented a house with 6 other couples and many shenanigans ensued.


Pedicures!

Happy Birthday Carter!



So grateful for wonderful (and hilarious) friends!
Our big finale to the summer was camping at White River Campground at Mt. Rainier.  We had a gorgeous weekend and had probably the best camp spot we've ever had.  It was a magical family time before lots of transitions (Kindergarten starting!) and a busy busy fall.  Just what we needed!



Summer 2017 you were so good to us.  This will be a helpful post to look back on in the dreariness of winter this year.  Counting the days until next summer...
