The Collings Family

We visited the Semiahmoo resort with Dave's parents last week and had a wonderful time. It was beautiful and very entertaining . They have everything~ sandy(somewhat)beaches, a large swimming pool and hot tub, tennis, basketball, ping pong, in house movie theater, scavenger hunts, croquet, volley ball.The kids can't wait to go back next year!

I scream, you scream... We love our summer visits from family. Each time Dave's parents come, he and his dad pick a house project to work on. This time we created a storage unit under our stairs. We're done!

My kids rotate having a party on the last day of school each year and this year was Luke's year. They were off having such a good time that I didn't even get a single picture. Somehow we ended up with 4-5 of Eden's friends too...which I'd take any day :) The entire second grade made these shirts and all wore them on the last day of school:

MEMORIAL DAY Took off to one of the local lake trails to do some letter boxing. This is the first year we'd ever heard about it and have completely fallen in love with the adventure. Check it out: http://www.letterboxing.org/ Our letter boxing diary. We are still looking for the perfect Collings' family stamp. Luke's choir concert. The battery in my camera died just after this shot. I loved the program and especially loved his music teacher this year. MAPLE VALLEY DAYS We rode our bikes from our home to the parade Liza LOVED it. We couldn't get her out of the street. Someone in the band threw a drum stick at Tucker. You can only imagine the fun he had with that thing. We ride this little train EVERY year.

The kids are finally out of school and we are soaking up every second of this summer. It has been fantastic so far. I have left the blogging world for awhile to chase another obsession: More later...
