Wednesday we went to the farmers market and we were the first people.  Rex asked when the boxes were coming.  told him soon but they were later then we were.  He looked at me and replied, "Jerks."

 Ike so proud that he could climb up the entire play structure.

Ike so proud that he can climb his chair by himself.

July 26, 2015 - Rafting (Adults only)

 Last week Dri took the kids and we snuck off to go river rafting with the Roemhildts.

The night before we drove to Organ, hiked a waterfall and camped. (DATE NIGHT!) 

We went to this little town Washington, Longview, to drop the Roemhildts kids off and we saw some crazy sights:
1- A random lady staring off into the distance, but there was only a fence.
2- I guy riding his bike with a kid trailer that had tarps and blanks to push up the seat and a grumpy lady stretched out like a queen in a chariot.
3- we saw the scariest looking stuffed cat with daemon eyes and tail straight up in the back of a window of a car.
4- A huge jacked up truck that hit a garbage can and was dragging it town the street until the garbage can finally hit something and went flying.  

Multnomah Falls

 The drop from the top.

View from diner.
Our night camping was a beautiful and clear night.  It was wonderful to go sleep staring at the clear night, stars with trees as a frame.  I am so glad I live in such a beautiful world.

The Dickersons (a family we don't know) put the trip together and offered an open invitation to...everyone. About 70 people showed up.

Lunch at the park 

Cody, one of our boat friends.

Jill is hiding in my shadow, good thing it's a big one.

We flipped two rafts upside down and used them as a slide.

 It was fun

Running of the Jill 

Elizabeth and James are the wettest friends we have 

That's right boys, paddle me down the river 

Boxcar: a class IV rapid 

James, O Captain my captain

Swimming in white river 

 We would float down a chute in the river, it was shallow and you would hit rocks, the end of the video is me saving someone stuck in the current.  You can hear them yell help just before I drop the GoPro in the water

Loading up... 

and on the bus.

An amazing trip/date.  Way better than going to Australia for work.

July 19, 2015 Vashon, bike, and no touch.

 Fake hair is so fun, but so hot.

 biking

Rex enjoying some time in the field.

 Ferry to Vashon for strawberry days.

In the parade on Vashon we saw some crazy stuff.  People are nuts there. 

 Snow cones.

 The people are crazy but the beach is beautiful.  We were going to miss the ferry by just a bit so we decided to see the lighthouse and then head back.

 IKe's awesome hair.

 The light house.

 Chloe and Rex putting on Ike's pants.

 We had boy cousins come and stay.  Chloe was deeply concerned for her possessions.  Left: Do not come in Middle:can come in  Right:only rex and chloe.

 The no touch signs abound.

Ikes favorite spot at church.
