My dad was so nice to come fly over and pick us up to go to Blakely for four days in August. We had all hoped to spend more time up there this year, but his work has been crazy and the weather hasn't been too hot, so we were happy to get at least those four days. They were AMAZING days... the weather was almost HOT! The kids and I went over for the first couple days and then my dad and I came over and picked up Jonah for the last few.
Here's our property from the air. Don't judge it too harshly.
And from further back for a better perspective. Our grass is dry because we don't own sprinklers.... which also means less need to mow!
Loved spending a few hours every day at the lake. Elsie is only making a sad face because I told her we'd have to let the frog go after I took the picture.
Once Jonah got to the island, it was crabbing-to-the-max.
The Gravy might need a new paint job one of these years. It's been 13 years since the last paint job!
While the big kids go crabbing with Jonah, I try to keep Elsie out of trouble, which is a full-time job.
We finally made it up tot he peak on our very last night there... Ana made her annual stick-teepee.
We brought a telescope to check out the amazing full moon. We couldn't stop looking at it!
Wow! Love those San Juan Islands!!!
