Our family photo shoot this summer. Gabe being his happy, fun, curious self!

Learning to ride the German tricycle that was passed on to him by his "cousin" Christoph. Daddy teaching him as dad's have done for generations.

"Got my floatees on and ready to swim in the lake! Ok, so it's pretty cold, so I'll just swim in the hot tub!"

In July our Preschool participated in a local parade. The parade theme was reuse and recycle and our theme was boats - with the slogan that our school is "powered by parents." Oh and by the way, we won first prize in our category - probably because the kids are so dang cute! Boy it was a hot day in Seattle (90 degrees) but lots of fun!

Sitting around the bonfire on Camano Island. Gabe loves bonfires.

This summer Daddy and Gabey visit the fire station with his preschool class. So fun to explore a real fire truck and wear a little uniform.

The Great Crab Hunt!

Crab hunting on Beach Haven beach with Corina, Kacie and Uncle Chris.  We had so much fun turning over rocks and finding little crabs - brown, green, red and funny ones with white shells.  We would collect a bunch then have crab races to let them go back to the rocks.  It was a great treasure hunt!
