(beginning) Summer FUN!!

We've had some fun in the SUN the last few weeks since school has been out. Surprisingly, our Pacific NW weather has been AMAZING!!! We've had almost solid sunny days since the middle of June! Cole & I took advantage of the sunshine and headed down to Dash Point Park in Federal Way (my old stompin' grounds) and met his friend Odin, mom Kari and sisters Siri & Nina. They are such great people and very gracious to invite us along!

Cole got to use his "boogey board" - um, now they're called SKIM boards, mom, gosh! - for the first time since he got it for his birthday either LAST year or maybe even the year before! He was super excited, to say the least!! And did surprisingly well on it! Dash Pt is a great place for this with the lazy stream and warmer water.

Looking forward to many more sunny days and adventures - more to come soon! Hope you all are enjoying your beginning of summer as well! :)

I told Cole to go start reading, thought he was in his room and found him outside in MY usual spot reading! Awwww...... so cute!!

Um, I believe they have always been called "skim" boards. The boogie board is what you use out in the surf. But what fun! He is such an adorable boy. Looks like you guys have had a fun summer so far.
