Father's Day and Camp Timberlee

This Father's Day, we celebrated by taking Judah to Camp Timber-lee for his first week of camp. Judah went last year with two friends for a two-night, three-day camp experience. He had a blast and wanted to go again this year with one of his friends. He was nervous about going for a whole week (and so was mommy), but we knew he would have a great time.

We headed out early on Sunday and stopped in Lake Geneva to walk around and eat some lunch (we didn't have to be at camp until the afternoon). Then, it was off to take our big boy to camp! I'm happy to report that camp was a success, although Judah did say that it was a bit long. Yay for trying new things and making new memories.

Finally at camp!

Judah and Josh

I asked them to pose how they feel about their first week at camp, and this is what I got...

Judah with his counselor (Jeremy) and cabin mates. :)

Yay for a successful week at camp...can you tell he looks tired?

Friends

Little brother and big brother were very happy to be reunited.

Eric Turns 40!

We recently celebrated Eric's 40th birthday. Seattle was the big exciting part of our birthday celebrations, so on Eric's actual birthday, we spent time together at home during the day and went out to dinner in the evening. The kids even decorated a cake with 40 candles for daddy. :)

I took this on Eric's birthday, and I love how it's so typical of Eric and the kids...outside and sweaty on a nice summer day.

Seattle-Last Day

We had half a day to do something before we needed to start heading to the airport, so we stopped by Gas Works Park for the views of the city, and then headed back to Pike's Place Market to buy some goodies for the kids and something for my parents. I loved Seattle, and Eric and I both said that we would love to come back someday!

Gas Works Park-this is a public park on the site of the former Seattle Gas Light Company. This is definitely not a typical park here, but it is an interesting way to preserve some history as well as make it a place for the public to gather and enjoy the sights. 

We also drove by another interesting Seattle trademark...the Fremont Troll.

This is the original Starbucks, which happened to be closed. Major bummer.

 A few more market pictures...why not.

Going home-This is a view of Mount Rainier above the clouds!
