Summer Days in LA 2015


Before heading to Seattle, we spent a lot of time discovering day hikes and letting the boys experience various camps - many of which were beach! 






Waiting for Levi to return from Beach Camp


A little message to our beloved Fran who fell sick for 4 days- she's been with us for 5 years and I can count the number of days she's been sick!

Summer in Seattle at Messie and PopPop's House

This past Summer went spent a month in Seattle. It was just what we all needed. It's become a tradition. In fact, how we spend our time has become packed with traditions, which the boys love. Time to connect with Messie and PopPop.  

From the moment we touched down in Seattle, the boys Time to settle into a routine of relaxing, slow days, picking blackberries, swimming in the lake and eating dinners outside. The days were long in a good way, and sometimes the boys even got a little bored. 


The boys fight over who gets the window. 


The boys spend most of their time 'nudey rudey' at Messie and Pop Pop's in the Summertime. 


The boys are happiest in a pool, regardless of size!




We are glued to the Tour De France for most of July! 



Most meals enjoyed outside!

July 4th with our Cuzzies at Merced Beach

This year the boys had a choice- participate in July 4th in Paliasdes, which is VERY July 4th, or go to Merced and be with our cousins. Merced won with out a doubt. The boys spent the weekend swimming in Oma's pool and playing with all their cousins. Definitely one of life's greatest rewards!
