Washington State

We took a quick day trip up to Vancouver, B.C. Had lunch and enjoyed exploring the city a bit.

Much to Sam & Liam's delight there was a little construction happening on the island.

Sam & Liam loved boat rides.

A large part of Cypress Island is a nature preserve with lots of fantastic hiking trails.

The super-cool shades Sam won't wear!

We island hopped from Guemes to Cypress Island where Gabe's family has built a beautiful beach cabin.

Whipping cream for our dessert. If you ever find yourself on an island without an electric mixer, a drill and whisk works just fine!

Waving to Da as he heads out for a morning run.

Moms and babes.

Blackberries grow wild all over Guemes Island. Sam ate them up like a little bear cub!

...and oysters on the grill...yum!

...fresh crabs caught by Gabe...

We ate very well together...grilled salmon...

Liam tests out Sam's stroller. The boys are almost a year apart in age.

Late summer we visited our dear friends Gabe & Hana and little Liam in Washington State. We spent our first days on Guemes Island in the San Juans where Hana's family has a beach cabin.
