Whistler
----------
We took our kids to whistler for a weekend for Brent's birthday and Father's Day. It was a fabulous weekend. Multiple Starbucks visits alongside park time of course&long walks. We had a blast. We really enjoyed spending quality time as a family. The kids caught tadpoles at lost lake and got completely filthy. It was after a walk around the lake and we didnt have them outfitted in bathing suits but we let them get filthy and wet in there cloths. They thought it was a hoot. Audrey also really enjoyed catching dead tad poles lol mostly because the dead ones are obviously easier to catch. Audrey also developed a fear for spiders on this trip. She called me into her room screaming one night. When she told me there was a spider in her room she was horrified. I tried to make her think spiders were nice---she didn't by it. I did this because Brent was out and I didn't want her to see my horror when it comes to spiders. Well she proceeded to say. 'They are not nice they go grrrr grrrr and bite you on your face' she had hand gestures and sound effects and it was frightening---needless to say I killed the spider. I did it like a champ. Yuck!! It was so nice to just have a whole weekend together it had been a full year at least since we spent that amount of time together so it was heavenly and much needed. Brent and I did take out one night post kids in bed so it was like a date night in. So fun!
Young Families Camping
------------------------------
Us and 10 families from our church went camping at golden ears in maple ridge and it was a sleepless blast. Why a sleepless blast? Well our monkey (Beckham) found out how to get out of te playpen for the first time. It was heartbreaking for me. He then had a hard time staying warm so landed up sleeping...not in our bed but instead on top of me hahaha. So I guess everyone slept good but me. 35lbs of tossing and turning sweaty drooly baby is not super easy to sleep with. We actually had a blast and the kids played HARD. We beached it up and went on a decent hike. It was fabulous. Of course post kids in bed bonfire is always a good time as well.
Williams Park
------------------
Countless Williams park days. We just love it there. We found this perfect private spot that we try and get everytime. It's got a clay wall and the kids dig and cover themselves and us in clay. It's right by the stream and the kids will make creations in the sand all day. It's just a perfect place to spend the whole day!!!
Soccer Camp
----------------
Audrey had a soccer camp for 3-5 yea olds. She landed up being the youngest by 5 years. It was totally darling. Might have made me choke up a couple times. She was so cute and tried so hard. A few times she would run down the field and simply collapse for no reason alongside another toddler who collapsed for no reason. We couldn't help but giggle a couple times. Audrey is for sure very agile for her age and impresses me non stop with her abilities.
VBS
-------
Audrey has been doing this VBS at a church near our house and having a blast. It's been nice because Beckham and I get a lil one on one time together. She's come home with crafts and tells me about all the fun things she gets to do. Doing VBS really has shown me how much she really is going to adore doing preschool.
Bonfires
------------
We had a record of 9 bonfires 9 nights in a row all with different groups of friends. It's been a blast. We are now a lil socially tired lol hard to believe an extrovert like me could get to that point but its true. We are taking a break this week till our next bonfire party.
Seattle
----------
We are going to Seattle for our anniversary for 3 nights/4 days eeek so excited. I'm sure ill post about it
Zoo
------
So many late night walks and dinner picnics at the zoo. So much fun. Best decision we ever made was buying the zoo passes.
Fishing
----------
Brent has a whole extended weekend fishing trip planned with my dad. They are both pretty pumped and excited about that. I'm excited about forcing Brent into eating more fish this year. He's a great fisherman. Not a great fish eater.
Camping at Lake Goodman
---------------------------------
We are going camping with friends at a lake near tulalip. I'm sure ill do a post about it after. Lets just say the girls are doing some shopping!
