Lake Easton

Our last hurrah of the summer (even though it's fall) :) Mike, Jacob, and I went camping this past weekend with our friends the Stulls and Archibalds. We had a gorgeous day on Saturday. We went for a hike, had a picnic, played on a playground, threw rocks in the lake, and sat around the campfire roasting smore's. It was almost absolutely perfect except for waking up to a wet Sunday morning. We tried to pray the rain away but God knew better. It was so much fun to watch all the kiddos play together. We had two 3 year olds (Amelia and William), two 2 year olds (Jacob and Anabelle), and a 6 month old (little Clara). It was quite the crew but everyone seemed to have a great time. Thanks Heather & Eli, Katie & Kyle. We had a great time and we look forward to next years camping trip.

These blue chairs were a favorite of the trip. Everyone had to take turns

Our visit with Sarah and Zack

We had the fun experience of having Sarah and Zack over for dinner and a play date. It was so fun to watch the boys play together. They both got really excited when the kitty decided to grace us with his appearance outside the bonus room window. Both of them desperately wanted to climb out on the roof with him. Little Zack continuously walked around crying "Mow, mow, mow" and Jacob just squealed at the top of his lungs. They're both pretty darn cute. Thanks Sarah we had a great time with you guys!

More fun at the zoo

Mike, Jacob and I had some fun at the Point Defiance Zoo earlier in the month when we got to meet up with Uncle Cliff and Aunt Dana. We traveled all around the zoo and even got to see the new baby tigers. However, Jacob's favorite part was definitely the petting zoo. Daddy bought some yummy goat food and shared it with little man. At first Jacob didn't know what to think about those crazy goats but he seemed to warm up after feeding them.
