Camano, Visit II

We spent another weekend at my parent's house on Camano last weekend. We all had a great time, but it was Josh who was really in his element. He would have stayed out at the beach all day long and has already asked if we could go live with Grandma and Grandpa. We decided that for next year's Christmas card, the entire family would go out and cover themselves with mud. (I think it was Camerin who thought we should do it naked - now there's something to look forward to!) Next time you see Josh, ask him why Grandpa Bob nicknamed him Log Monkey!

This handful of mud was aimed at me. Luckily the monkey has pretty bad aim.

Josh would run as fast as he could, then throw himself into the mud. Sometimes he would roll, flop, and flip, other times he would just lay there laughing like a crazy maniac.

Isn't he gorgeous? :-)

These are Austin's hands on his way back in from the "near death experience" where Dad, Keith, Austin, Malia and Avery all got stuck in the mud - with the tide coming in at their feet and filling their boots. The way we heard it, it's miracle that any of them lived. In all reality, Austin was more concerned about his sweatshirt than his life.

Not even Keith could stay on his feet. Well, that's what he told us anyway.

After a few glasses of wine, Mark showed Keith what he really thinks of him. Take that, Lender for Life!

Malia and Avery were inseparable the entire weekend. This could be the furthest they ever got from each other. Can you say t r o u b l e ? ! ?

SBK - not sure what she was doing here, but she sure is cute!

This bath was taken right BEFORE the trip out to the mud. You might have thought that between the parents and grandparents, someone might have suggested that baths wait until we come BACK from the beach. Nope. Wonder who put all the shampoo in the bath while the jets were running!?
