Fourth of July

This year's trip to Tenakee Springs for the Fourth of July included another exciting seaplane ride for the kids. We saw some whales on the way over too! The small town festivities included a parade with floats drawn by four wheelers (no need for a car in Tenakee!), kids foot races, fishing for toys, and a pinata. It was more wet than last year but we still had a lot of fun and Abby was a champ :). We'll miss this little tradition next year, but are sure to make new ones in Oregon next year!

Fishing at Twin Lakes

The kids have been doing more fishing of their own than we have this summer. We have caught quite a few small trout at the local stocked lake. Wynn likes to cast, Sydney likes to reel, and Wynn likes to throw them back so they make quite the team!

Abby

At 7 weeks Abby weighs about 10.5 lbs. She is full of smiles and coos and very interested in toys. She likes to try to pat at them and watch Sydney and Wynn play when they aren't moving so fast her eyes can't keep up! A fabulous sleeper she only wakes up once a night to eat, occasionally twice and sleep from 5 to 6 hours her first leg. Her dark hair is already falling out and turning a lighter brown while her eyes remain a deep blue. It's so fun to watch her grow!
