It's Official....

I can say without hesitation ...summer weather has officially hit the island! It couldn't have come at a better time.. Memorial Weekend! The boyz and I started our weekend on the right foot... a birthday party on Deception Pass Boat Cruise! I have decided that this is an absolute must for anyone who comes to the island! Just the history alone is amazing but throw in an enormous Bald Eagle's nest that has been there for years and watching them fly overhead is an extra perk too!

Connor and Cooper loved the boat ride but for Connor the true fun came when the boat was going "super fast" and we were "rocking" to the music of Danger Zone from the movie Top Gun! How appropriate that song was and we were bouncing over the waves...not exactly what I would call fun as I had the "mama grip" on both boyz!

Cooper had a different approach to handling the boat going fast...

One of the highlights of the trip....a California sea lion just hanging out...

What a way to start the weekend!! Saturday found us at Brandi's house for a bbq!!! Not only was there great food but there was a lot of bouncin and tumblin...

and a lot of slippin and sliding...

and yes.. the sun continued to shine!!! So that meant POOL TIME!!! Connor was my big helper with the pool...

Cooper - not so much! He took his usual position and watched his brother!

But once that pool was filled - it was non-stop fun for the boyz!

A weekend filled with sun, friends, laughter, and fun...all the makings for a great start of summer on Whidbey!
