Well, this summer has flown by. I did my best to keep the kiddos active but also reveled in our "stay home and do nothing" days. We did a lot of hiking, a lot of swimming, and a lot of park dates. I love summer and am sad to see it coming to an end.
Callie has been asking all year to go see Mt. Rainier and decided that it was worth the drive to see it in all of its glory. It's safe to say that she loved every minute of it and was awed by its beauty. I was proud of both kiddos - it was not the easiest hike, mainly do to the fact that is was extremely hot and very little cover. Hands down, one of my favorite hikes that I've done with the kiddos so far.
We also hit up some dollar movies on the colder days.

These views were constant through the whole hike. We also go to enjoy the wildflowers (and the mosquitoes)
Callie was amazing - she was hot but never wanted to stop. We told each other stories the whole time which made it very fun for her. Liam was a trooper (especially since he had to miss his nap). He walked about 2.5 miles and then stayed in the pack for the rest of it.
Wish Liam's eyes were open - o well
Our lunch spot and the cliff that goes down to an amazing lake
We also ventured out this summer for the first time ever to watch the Blue Angels. Not sure the kids were super amazed by them but they had friends to keep them busy while the moms watched.

I failed to get any pictures of the planes when they were actually close to us....
One of the hikes we did this summer, Preston was able to come with us. A great day!

We reserved one day each week this summer to spend as a beach day, I had all intentions to expose them to a new beach each week but we always ended up at the same place. It was perfect for both kids - sand, water, and a playground.
We also hit up some dollar movies on the colder days.
Watching Curious George
This spring/summer, we have worked a lot on the outside of our house. Redid some grass, deck, landscaping, etc. After the mounds of wood chips, dirt, bark were gone, the kids were kind of over the projects. This picture pretty much sums up Callie's feelings on the whole thing....
