Camano Island

August was a full month! At the start of it we spent a weekend away with Todd’s family on Camano Island. It was a beautiful area and the girls had fun throwing rocks, playing in the sand, and collecting shells at the different beaches. We also visited a sculpture garden with several interesting art pieces.

Faithlife Picnic

“Oh man” (as Ada would say), summer is over and I am waaaay behind on blogging. I plan to catch up but life is busy with two kids, vacations, projects, and now starting homeschool!

Back in July we had Todd’s company picnic which is always fun. This year Ada seemed all grown up and wanted to try everything. Ruby enjoyed the petting zoo and getting to run around.

Swim Lessons

Ada had her first ever swimming lessons at the end of June. She built so much confidence in those 10 sessions and looked forward to them every morning for two weeks. She jumped off the diving board all three times, learned to kick face down in the water, and had lots of fun doing underwater summersaults while waiting by the wall. I ended up buying her goggles because she loved opening her eyes under water so much :)
