Orcas Baby Shower

During our visit to Orcas Island, Kira and Ronna threw me a lovely baby shower.  It was really special.

Kira made this amazing fruit baby!  She also organized the games for the shower.  I received many wonderful gifts from Ronna's friends.  Thanks so much!!!







Orcas Island Summer Visit 2013

In mid-July we went up to Orcas Island to visit my sister Ronna and her family.  The weather was amazing and it was a short but very good visit.  This was Javi's first visit to Orcas and we all did well managing multiple dogs, cats, and chickens without incident. Hopefully Ronna does some blog posting of our visit as well as she also took some nice photos.

Grant and Ben hanging out at Cascade Lake while Ronna, Eric, and the kids did some stand-up paddle boarding and kayaking on the lake.

The dogs had fun too.

Eric had a chance to get out on some beautiful solo paddles in the Salish Sea.

Eric took the dogs on a hike to the top of Mount Constitution.

We went on a nice hike with the dogs around Cascade Lake.  Ahhhh...Sisters.

Beautiful Kira.

Everyone chillin' in the pool.
