yesterday, we enjoyed one of the prettiest lakes we’ve ever boated on: alder lake, wa.
gorgeous views of mount rainier, pristine waters (but freezing, lol!), and sensational sunshine!!!
i didn’t even care if we caught any fish.
i was just thrilled to hear the little ladies laugh and giggle, getting their feet wet. (ara swam only minutes at a time, ha!)
nana and papa enjoyed basking in the sun.
and daddy navigated our charming boat, named “leroy”.
summer, we will sorely miss you…
this is the little ladies’ FIRST time catching these creatures!
ara was fearless. figured out how to hold them without getting near their claws, wow!
ayna wanted nothing to do with them. well, except, during a brave momemt, she almost kissed one. š
until next time, fellas!
trying to catch up on our adventures…
this would be the windy dunes of oregon, just south of the charming town of florence.
i laugh because daddy was first one to give in…asking to “warm” back up in the car. š
this was our last summer activity until school started.
{boo-hoo}
aynaĀ thought the blueberry bushes were a little spooky. her facial expressions of uncertainty had me chuckling.
but ara was a complete pro. š
goodbye, summer, you’ve been super awesome.
now on to “cooler” adventures!!!
i can’t believe this is happening.
it was just yesterday she was a growing wonder in my belly.
it was just a moment ago she learned to crawl sooner than most little ones.
it was just a second ago she was convinced she was as fast as a cheetah.
and now…
she starts school.
i know i’m not ready.
and…
i know they’re not ready. š
