We have had a very fun summer so far, but our long summer vacation seems to be half over already! We kicked off the summer with a trip to Astoria. We still need to find those pictures to share. Next we headed to Roseburg for Uncle Jon and Aunt Raiza’s wedding on the North Umpqua River. Some of Gram and Bop’s good friends, the Bartletts, loaned their cabin for the occasion. It was a beautiful setting and fun ceremony conducted by the Reverend James L. Peters. You might also notice the photo of the Rev. working the music for the reception with his cute sidekick and one of two very cute ring bearers, Kjell.
A mere week or so later, we headed out to Kona, Hawaii to spend some time with Gram and Bop. We had a great time. Noak and Kjell loved spotting geckos and playing in the sand. Kjell went “surfing” on a boogie board held tightly by Mom and Gram. We snorkeled and played in the water of the “keiki” or children’s “pool” at Sara and Bob’s favorite beach. Jamie and I also celebrated our 7th anniversary a little early with a night out on the town in Kona. It was a very fun time.
We’ll have several picture posts or a slide show, so maybe check out those entries soon.
Love to all of our friends and family far and near!
