Last bit of summer before school starts!

I'm not good at posting these pictures creatively like a lot of people do.  They end up all wrong.  ugh!  Anyway, here are a few things we did the last week before school started.  Cowabunga one more time!

A birthday party for Kaitlin and cousin Ella since their birthdays are a month a part!

more of our family hike...  it started off easy enough!

 halfway to the top and pretty winded!

Carli walked and walked and walked but finally she was exhausted so dad, mom, Aunt Deni, Aunt Liz, and Uncle Ray all took turns carrying her.

The view from where we were! Way up high!

 on our way down... very tired and poor Kaitlin ended up with the BIGGEST blisters on the back of her feet. Poor girl, and not a complaint!

 First day of school for Logan with his buddies...

 Took the girls to the aquarium for the first time ever, while the boys were at school one day.  Ssshhh, don't tell them! :)
