July Catch Up

We stayed close to home and packed in a lot of great Pac NW fun in the month of July.  Here's some of the highlights I haven't posted about yet:

The second week of July, Nate went to Magic Treehouse camp at Village Theater with his pals Lauren and Addie.  At the end of the week they put on a play, and we also had lots of dress up fun at home that week.

 Nate and Ri started swim lessons up again in July and go a few times a week.  Ben loves to play in the little pool during their lesson.  

We spent a wonderful day in Seattle, snacking on fresh fruit and veges at Pike Place Market and riding the new Seattle Great Wheel on the waterfront.

Noni arrived and we get to have her here with us for 3 weeks! We are all having so much fun with Nonistar and she's taking good care of all of us! No matter how old you are, you always need your mom.

Riley and her friend Isabella went to dance camp and put on two wonderful performances including an Irish circle dance and a fancy fairy ballet.  That same week, Nate and Lauren went to Salmon Science Camp and spent a lot of time outdoors in the creek learning about salmon lifecycles and habitats.  

Riley and Nate both started some activities they have been really excited about trying for a while now.  Riley started a summer gymnastics class with her friend Olivia and Nate had his first karate class.

Good bye July. Thanks for the memories, all the sweet and touching moments with family and friends, and the many reminders of our blessings.
