Ahhh......summer....

Wow...all of a sudden, summer is upon us. Yippee!!!!! I am way behind in my postings, but I wanted to send some pictures of our first raspberries of the season. They are early this year, due to record warm days we had in June. Liam is a very enthusiastic picker and is not very "particular" in his choice of berries. He says, "I like the pink (in otherwords, unripe) ones. They are yummy!"

Looking for those hidden treasures under the leaves.

Liam - looking just about as sweet as his berries :)

A few more pictures from the weekend.

Here are a few more pictures from this past weekend. From Cypress, we kayaked across to Strawberry Island (which is tiny) and hiked around one afternoon. The wild rosebushes were in bloom and smelled heavenly! Here is Liam following Gabe on the trail around the island.

Here is a picture of our crew having lunch on Orcas Island on Saturday. Liam, Sangram, Lisette, Cousin Jordan, Michael, Annie and Gabe.

Annie and Sangram Visit

This past weekend, Gabe's sister Annie and her fiance, Sangram, came to visit from D.C. We got to spent the weekend with them and enjoyed another sunny and warm couple days together at the cabin. Here, Liam helps Poppie untie the boat on our way to Eastsound on Orcas Island.

Liam and Mama enjoy a cuddle up on the "platform" at Cypress.

Annie has a good laugh after Liam gave her a big (messy) lick of his cone.

Admiring (and analyzing) Poppie's catch o' the day.

Annie and her Sangram (we are so happy for your two!)

Memorial Day Weekend

We spent a beautiful Memorial Day weekend out at Cypress and had great fun with our neighbors, Anna (6), Ben (4), Ellie (6) and Drew (4). Liam had a ball with his fellow beachcombers and explorers and was busy all weekend.

Liam and T-Rex enjoy the low tide.

Just hangin' out in the morning....and watching the beach activities.

Eating cherries in the buff.

Mmmm.....tastes like summer!
