Seaside

Here are some great moments from our family reunion trip to Seaside in July.

Family selfie.

J&K prefer to be in the ocean from dawn until dusk.

The girls.

Sweet moment with daddy.

Jocelyn trying out my sunglasses.

Kathryn had to give them a try, too.

Kathryn headed into the sunset.

I love to capture these light/dark moments before the sun goes down.

Joce and Grampa.

Jocelyn meeting Noah and enjoying his face.

Kathryn spinning with Kurt.

Teddy, Maggie, Tess, Will, Kathryn, me, Jocelyn and Kelly.

Kurt and the girls right before the bonfire.

The girls loved the bonfire and stayed until the last ember was doused.  

Here is the video of the reunion.

Visiting Redmond

We spent the weekend after the 4th of July at Holly's house in Redmond.  Our reason to visit was to see Will and Katie but I didn't end up with any pictures of them!

Jocelyn was a big fan of Oliver.  

She spent lots of time with him, face to face.

The love affair continued.

K&J playing Ed's drums.

Sunset walk at Eagle Crest.

Took a selfie to send to Kurt, who was unable to join us on this trip.

Jocelyn captured in all her fabulous glory as she ran down the path.

4th of July

We had a fun family Fourth of July.  The girls enjoyed all the fireworks at home so much that we got some great pictures of their big, joyful smiles.

Jocelyn picking out the first firework of the day.

Twins moving in syncronization.

Excited for fireworks to start.

Kurt and Papa discussing the sameness of the fireworks.

Rascal Rodeo

We went out to Molalla to participate in the Rascal Rodeo again this year.  Another fun day around some nice people and big animals.

Love Jocelyn's happy face on the barrel ride.

Tigard Festival of Balloons

We went down to the night glow during the Tigard Festival of Balloons.  There was a bit of a breeze so only two of the balloons were inflated, but it was still so fun to watch.  The girls love it!

Kurt with K&J.

One of my favorite pictures of the year.

MHKC

Mt. Hood Kiwanis Family Camp was back in full swing this year.  We had another 4 day and 3 night adventure!  Jocelyn enjoyed the zip line and flying squirrel and we managed to get Kathryn to wear her harness for the activities, but she wasn't quite willing to leave the comfort of the ground.

K&J checking out the camp sign.

We finally got one of these right!

Kathryn got all suited up to try the flying squirrel.

She wasn't quite ready to go up in the air, however.  She did sit briefly in her harness, which is a big step for her.

Family photo with Jenna, our buddy for the camp week.

Kathryn got in her harness for the zip line, too, but wouldn't step off the platform.

Costume party with Joce.

Canoeing with Jenna.

Kathryn's favorite activity was swimming.

Big smiles in the water.

Happy swimmer.
