The relatives came...

This title is one of my favorite children's books (Cynthia Rylant). The pictures are just great and captures a house where a group of relatives come to visit and stay for part of a summer. We have relatives staying here as well - maybe not quite as many as the book describes. My nephew is here as an end of eighth grade gift. We've been on several fun outings but I've only managed to take my camera once and take two pictures... There's just too many other things to think about when you're taking a bunch of kids somewhere... and I'm sticking to that excuse. Here's a picture of the boys hanging out at the Windmill Mall. That day we went to visit J at the Lynden Dutch Bakery where she works. As we were waiting for our food she got a migraine and needed to be taken home. The places we didn't take the camera to were Cultus Lake Water Slides, Lummi Island (biking), Company BBQ in Mt. Vernon (view of the ocean & islands), Fourth of July BBQ & fireworks at a friend's and a picnic at Birch Bay (ocean). Kaleb's sister & friend were also with us this weekend and are now at the Strings Camp in Langley.
