Flashback to 2013

Summer 2013

We love hanging out at Storvik Park....and we love the location!

Eliza volunteered at one of the water stations at the annual Art Dash.

Jo at the Splash Park in Mt. Vernon.

Playing ball at Storvik

Forest Land Explorers! We are also very blessed by the location of the Forest Land.

Blueberry picking (and eating!) at a farm in Mt.Vernon

We had good intentions to store them in the freezer!

 Erin & Ben explored Butchart Gardens for the first time. It was amazing!

 Double Bluff Beach is located on South Whidbey Island, and worth the drive.

 The water is shallow and warm

 Eliza and Jo are still at knee high water (in the background)

 "The Artist" is at work!

 And his apprentice too!

Time for "Sand Angels"
(ironically it is snowing outside as I am posting this pic)
