Sandy Beach - Summer 2015

We bought an inflatable kayak big enough for me, A, and E, and took it to the sandy beach at Lucky Peak State Park.  We went with our next-door neighbors, who also have an inflatable kayak, so we could have "water wars" which was the kids favorite part (besides the traditional post-sandy beach trip to Westside Drive In and some Miss Emily milkshakes!

Kids half-birthday party - July 22, 2015

The kids' half-birthday fell on July 22, so we decided to throw them a small party.  They each invited one friend to Wahooz Family Fun Center in Meridian, where we played video games, ate pizza, and played laser tag. We all had a great time!

July 2015 Crater Lake Trip

The kids and I took a quick 4 day trip to Crater Lake National Park in Oregon. It was great!

 

It's one of the deepest, bluest lakes in North America
