Summer kick-off

We kicked off summer this Memorial Day weekend by taking our first kite boarding trip of the year. We met most of Kirks family in the Columbia River Gorge. Here are a few of the things we did... Playing in the sand... It was too cold for swimsuits and my girls didn't even ask. Maybe next trip! Watermelon... Visiting with family and spending lots of quality time together... Swing sets...
We estimated that these swing sets - out in the middle of nowhere - probably get more use than most swing sets in a typical community park. The park was teeming with kids and the swing sets were in constant use all weekend.
Kite boarding, of course! Bike riding...
You should see 2yr. old cousin Neil go on his boot scoot. I wish I had a video. Izzy figured out how to talk aunts and uncles into pushing her up the hill so she could ride down.
There was also plenty of great food and plenty of junk food (sorry, no pictures). Too bad I only did a little bit of running. It was a great weekend and we can't wait to go back a few more times this summer.

Fun post Kirsten. That pic of Neil is so funny- Brutus again comes to mind.
