Soaking up the Summer!

So I thought I'd record a little of the fun we've had this week. It's been so sunny and nice outside, I feel like we have to squeeze all the fun out of this last bit of summer weather! So earlier this week Jayson got home early and decided we needed to get out so he packed us up and we went to the beach on Sauvie's Island! It was just our family and it was so fun! Dallas hung out on the blanket and the boys and Jay and I played in the water. There was a sandcastle and we played catch with a football and had such a great time! After the sun started to go down, we packed it up and went home to change and then went to Sonic (yum!) and went to a park to eat and then play. By the time we were playing it was dark and we had the park to ourselves. I love spontaneous nights that turn out so fun!! The kids loved it and we all had so much fun!

The next evening Jayson got home early again and our family and Shane and Clarissa's family went out on their boat for some skiing, wakeboarding, sky-skiing and swimming. Tons of fun and I actually got up and stayed up on my little ski! Clarissa did great on the wakeboard and the guys did some great jumps on the sky ski. Unfortunately my camera ran out of batteries during the trip, so I only have a few photos. Afterwards, we hit Burgerville for dinner and it was another super fun family night!

And Friday night was another adventure. Mom and Dad invited us to go on a bike ride downtown. We got the tandems and the tagalong and trailer for the kids and had a great bike ride! The trailer and the tagalong wouldn't hook on the frame of dad's tandem so Jayson pulled them both. We had about a 15 ft. train! We got lots of looks from people but it was fun and thankfully Jayson is strong - he did a great job pulling our family along the way! We had subway for dinner and enjoyed the waterfront and the beautiful weather. =)
