Happy Birthday Allie! (Allie, Katie, Natalie, and Sarah) Allie is a friend from school... her birthday was at Mud Mountain Dam park... always a fun place to visit. Allie was also a student in my class last year. Katie has been spending many, many hours with our neighbor girls, Natalie and Sarah. When school starts, maybe she will finally find her way home again. Jim has been teasing us that he is going to take Katie off on his taxes this year.
Hot tub fun... we visited Grandpa Dwight last week for a few days. The hot tub is always the highlight of their visit for the kids. We picked fresh tomatoes from the garden to take home, yum! I also made sure to have a box of Verhey peaches to share with friends, there is no comparison to these and store bought. The highlight for me was driving over to pizza at Chico's. Nothing like a Hochstetter to push your cholesterol past the max!
We have been to several pool parties recently. Since the weather has been in the 90s... it has been great to have friends with a pool. This is Katie and Tessa. Tessa turned "1" last week and was enjoying her cake and ice cream. I think that is why Katie didn't want to get too close. Katie's eyes were so red from all the chlorine she could barely keep them open... but she had a great time!
On Sunday we drove to Bainbridge Island and visited our good friends the Vandeleurs. We spent a little time at the beach when it wasn't raining.
The kids enjoyed playing on the beach. Garret has a new rock obsession since Grandpa Gill gave him a rock polisher... so he hunted for rocks.
But, more than the beach, the kids enjoyed playing the Wii and Wii Fit. This is Garret and Katie "hoola hooping" to see who can get the most revolutions. I even tried out ski jumping. Harder than it looks. Katie asked me "how many more days until Christmas?"... was that a hint?
