La Push 2011

 Enjoying the beach logs- building forts, balancing, posing for pics:)

 Work it girls!

 Speed sand castle building...trying to get tall sand walls built before the waves rushed in!

 Loving on Kels

 Setting off homemade fireworks

 Heading down to Third Beach- whatta hike!

 What do I even say about this? this girl is full of personality!!

 Loving the waves!

 "surfing" down the river to the ocean

 Listening to their consequence...run down the beach and back, after not listening and having sand ball wars!

 Maybe if the dads were not playing beach poker, sandball wars would have not happened! haha

 Life is good today

 Love this boy SO MUCH!

 My sweet friend

 The GURLZ

 The Crew- after buying their treats at the little store...each day they headed down to the store and bought snacks- the highlight of their days!

The kids

After the 4th...the fun just couldn't be stopped!!

 This girl was the biggest waterdog!! Once she realized she could float without the turtle and swim around, we could not stop her! She was so independent, swimming around, waving at all the boats passing!

 Heading out for a boatride!

 Going for a cruise around the lake

 Maris got up on 1 ski so quickly after not skiing for years!! It was AWESOME!

 Girl's Night on the deck

 This is how you force your child to be calm in the water:)

 lovin' the hot summer days with my friend

 G loves her Auntie Marissa-she only wanted Maris to swim with her, hold her hand, snuggle her...I couldn't get close!

 This teapot set entertained them for hours!!

Baby Mike-so sweet natured and just hanging out on the dock!
