I've posted a lot of pictures on facebook lately, but for the benefit of my friends and family that aren't on facebook, here are some pictures of our summer adventures since our son David and his family have been visiting with us.

How Rick has been handling the heat that we've been having lately. This is where he was at the end of every hot day!

Cambria, my daughter-in-law, arranged these pictures for my kitchen. She painted the upper right picture of blueberries and won a blue ribbon and prize money for it.

Makayla, Colton, Taya and Sierra hanging out with Grandma at Lake Samish.

Sierra, Cambria and Taya coming in from a ride around the lake.

Ryan getting ready to kneeboard. The lake was so nice on the hot sunny days we've been having lately.

Kim and Ryan exhausted after church. They have been working hard lately.

David, Colton, Makayla and Cambria on Colton's blessing day. I don't think the kids wanted their pictures taken. Both were in need of a nap!

My youngest brother Daryl and his family came up from Tumwater for the blessing also. It was great seeing everyone.
