Northwest Trek and the River

A couple days before we left we went out to Northwest trek. It's like a zoo but only animals that would be in the forest in the northwest area and then there's a tram you get to ride and see a bunch of the other animals. It's pretty cool, we saw some buffalo and rams super close and Vince was taking it all in, watching them. Super cute!

The last night we were there went went out to grandpas house on the river and had a fun dinner with everyone. Tom and Yasmin had flown out for a wedding and brought there new dog. It was so fun seeing everyone and being together!

Escape to Ravensdale

My aunt and uncle have a pretty amazing house. It's gorgeous, lots of property, basketball court, pool, fire pit, shooting range and more! It's great. So this year they wanted to have a family camp 

out at their place! It was so much fun!! First of all being with all the family is the best but there was great food, games, swimming, ATV rides through the forest, basketball, badmitten, wiffle ball and more!! It was over Labor Day weekend and we could not have asked for better weather! Ryan and I are pumped for next year!

Big boy over at grandmas

My parents redid the kitchen this summer and it looks awesome!! I wish they would've taken a before picture but it was all golden oak with gold handles, red paint and no backsplash. They redid the counters, repainted the cabinets, walls, new cabinet doors, new appliances, awesome backsplash and lots of hard work!

I love this picture!!

Grandma Kelle and Vince!

Vince and I were able to go up to Shoreline to visit my sister-in-law Holly and Kelly and Steve. It was so fun seeing them and being able to hang out for the evening. Vince loved watching Ella and being able to play with his cousin!

Beach House

My grandpa and bestemor (grandma in Norwegian) have this beach house up in Anacortes area that is amazing. We grew up always going there and was so much fun! We had tons of adventures, played on the beach, explored, went crab hunting, boating, clamming, explored islands, built forts and tons more! It was a kids paradise. 

While I was in Washington, mom, Harrison, Vince and I went up and met grandpa and bestemor at the beach house. We stayed over night and had fun both days. It was so nice to be back and walk along the shore and enjoy the San Juan area!

Grandpa and Harrison going to get the crab pots in the morning. It was neat because there was tons of fog and we watched them disappearing into the bay.

Crab is so good but not too glamorous when you're preparing it!
