Cindy asked Cheyenne and Lane to make a list of the top things that they want to do this summer. Lane's top picks included: swimming, camping, bowling, go to the park, go to the beach, go to the art store. Cheyenne had a few more, including: go to concert (free Issaquah concert at the community center), and go to an instrument store to look at musical instruments. Innocently, I asked Kenzie what hers were. She said, "go to Disneyland, get a swimming pool, go paragliding, have a play date with all of my friends, and go to Hawaii. Again. Oh, and don't forget camping."

Well, we're working through Lane and Cheyenne's list. We went to Kelli and Jeff's on Saturday to go swimming in their pool. Lane stayed and had a sleepover with Nick. Then today after church we all met at Rattlesnake Lake with a plethora of their kayaks and other small boats, then went back to their house for another round of swimming and a barbecue.

While at the lake Mason and I decided to go for a ride in an inflatable kayak. I figured I would do most all of the paddling. When we got out there he wanted to paddle, so I handed it over. He did a surprisingly good job and went for a really long time. We floated all around, went in a few circles, saw a couple of fish jump. I took this picture when he was sitting in front of me, just working hard at taking us on a tour. It was so cute having my little dude take me around the lake!!
