Birthday in Port Ludlow and Being Local

This past weekend our family went across the water over to Port Ludlow area to celebrate the 2nd birthday of my high school friend's daughter. We enjoyed seeing our old friends, their new place, and celebrating this milestone with their family. On our journey there, we tried out a new to us breakfast place with Mr. Neil off the Edmonds ferry in Kingston and enjoyed some smiles off the ferry ride.

One of our friends has fruit trees in her yard with more fruit than her family can eat, so my mom and I took an afternoon to pick some to take home. Mr. Neil loved the small "Neil size" apples.

Mr. Neil loves to ride on dad's shoulders.

We love hiking as a family.

Mr. Neil enjoys climbing and exploring all places, especially our car.

He also loves turning the light switches on and off.

Thanks,

-Mr. D, Mrs. M, and Mr. Neil

Camping Adventure at Penrose Point State Park

This past weekend Mr. D and I went camping at Penrose Point State Park with a family we have been friends with for almost three years! We decided to carpool there together with our camping gear and all seven of us in their van. After we got there, we made hotdogs for dinner, s’mores and cobbler for dessert, and enjoyed spending time together in front of the campfire. The following morning we walked over to the water and had fun discovering crabs in the rocks. Here are some of the photos from the trip: Checking out an alive sand dollar Looking for crabs on the water Crazy tree and roots This was the website we used to book the reservation: https://washington.goingtocamp.com/PenrosePointStatePark -Mr. D and Mrs. M

Neil's friends visit

Our friends from Seattle were in town visiting for a work conference in Park City and they stopped by our home and stayed with us for a day. We loved seeing them and getting to have our boys play together. There was a lot to do at our home-- play with legos, practice baseball, enjoy the chickens, and read together. Hope to have them visit again next time they are here for a work trip or to ski.

Camping

This past weekend our family got to go camping with cousins, and we had a great time. We live in Highland Utah, which is near the American Fork Canyon entrance. We chose to go to the Timpooneke campsites, which is really close to us. We went there a couple times last year. The campsites are really nice. At each campsite is a concrete slab with a fire pit and picnic table, as well as flat ground to place your tent (plus walkable to drinking water, an outhouse, etc.). We went with David's sister's family and the kids loved gathering around the fire, playing games, and exploring together. We even got to take our paddle boards out to Tibble Fork Reservoir. Here are photos from our trip: Campground link: https://www.recreation.gov/camping/campgrounds/231938
