Splash













































































































Greetings!


Summer fun continues! Jonas and Elsa spent more time with Mari's Aunt Joy and Cousin Amy's family this weekend. Part of the big excitement was swimming in the lake for the first time! We thought for sure that Elsa would be reticent about getting wet and Jonas would jump in like a fish but it was completely the opposite. Jonas obliged and got his feet wet once and Elsa was a water-baby! She and Dan went down a slide into the lake and Elsa laughed the entire way down while Dan screamed.


A couple of days earlier, Jonas and Elsa also had their first experience on a trampoline! Once they realized what it was, they were hooked and had a great time of jumping and falling and jumping and falling...



There was also a trip to the Washington State History museum where we saw the train exhibit and Jonas was in train heaven! "More trains...more trains...more trains!!!"


A great week with lots of adventures: time to feed lambs, go for walks, ride in paddle boats, eat clams!, help take care of air-packs from a recent delivery, and even some nice quiet time to read a story or two.

Elsa and Jonas both received wonderful quilts from Aunt Joy! They love them.


Great week! Great times!
