Deception Pass

We decided to try some were new to take our new little camper.  This year we went over the border to Deception Pass and it was amazingly beautiful  We are walking over the bridge here.
The gorgeous view from the pridge.
I wanted to take a picture of everything.
We did a lot of hiking and the boys loved it.
The exploring and playing was endless.
We were a little tired.
But smiled nicely for our family picture. We were missing Darien at this point because his time was so limited in BC he decided to stay at a friends house so that they had more time together.
My good looking boys.
I love everything about the west coast!!
I wish that I was better at photography.  There is so much beauty here.
We were down here for three days and every day we tried to find some where new to explore and play.
This rock was almost covered at high tide.
These cute boys were so free and happy.
Me and my baby.
Trying not to touch the rocks by staying on the drift wood.
The managed well.
I love these kind of pictures.
Exploring the tide pools.  They had a path for you to follow and cheat sheets so you could tell what you where looking at.
It is hard to tell but we were very high up.
Super power!!
Just a little steep.
I do love my boys.  This was a natural knot in the tree that was perfect.
 A little swimming even though it was cold.
Making some drift wood forts.
There may have been a little bit of fighting over who had the best fort.
But in the end it didn't matter and they each had fun.
Peek a boo Keagan.
Keagan slept in the tent while the rest of us where in the trailer.
Our wee little trailer that was just right for us.
Sadly it did rain our last day.
But that was just fine.  We didn't let it dampen our great time.

Happy Birthday Darien!!

Happy Birthday Darien!!  I can't believe that you are 15 already.  Really where has the time gone.  Darien was not with us for very much of the trip because he left to go to Manitoba for his cadet camp.  We had some friends over to celebrate with us.
We have always called Darien D D.  Jamie decorated the cake himself.
That is my good looking son.  He is one of the funniest/goofiest people I know.  Your sense of humor is so fun. (most of the time)
Can you blow out all those candles?  LOL
Can you blow out the one big one.  LOL
You are so a wonderful young man.  You are an amazing big brother (when you want to be ;)  We are so proud of you for working hard to buy a car and pay for your flying lessons.  You are very driven to be a pilot and we support you 100%  You will grow to be a wonderful person if you can continue to stay focused on your future.
Blow it out.  LOL
We made him do it 15 times!  Haha
Over and over
He was a good sport.
Getting his gifts.
Happy Birthday son.  We love you to the moon and back.
Stay true to who you are.

Summer Fun Begins Cascade Falls

Let summer begin!!!  And our first stop is Cascade Falls our most favorite place, where or boys can be boys.
Rylan doing his thing.
The big boys getting ready for the big jump.
I wish I had the guts to jump from these rocks.
Two down one to go.  LOL
They have to push it and go even higher.  My heart was beating out of my chest.
Stepping off like it is nothing.
The moment before Darien hits the water.
They can't get enough.  Even with the water being freezing.
He must have been freezing by the time he got out.  It is not the type of water that you can sit in for very long, even on a hot day.
I love the look on Keagans face as he goes in.  Hhaha
There isn't much to him so this was his one and only jump.  It takes him forever to warm up.
Brrr.
Jamie jumping in.
Rylan even made the plunge.
He knows it is going to be cold.  LOL
And there it is.  haha
Keagan doing his famous plank.
Rylan and Summer
The big boys playing in the waterfall.
Stefan found a pool to play in.
Our friend the frog.
He didn't turn into a prince or a princess.  Haha  Great way to spend the day.
