stinson

the last week of our mainland tour was spent at stinson beach. since this is were my phone was destroyed i have maybe 3 pictures of the whole week. thankfully, our friends nick and anna came over from napa for our hosted beach night and photographed the event. this year we celebrate our cousin karen and her husband dustin's 10 year wedding anniversary.

 

here is what i love about nick (and anna's)  photography; as i look through the pictures i can remember what it felt like to be there. they seriously documented the evening exactly as it was. so, thanks guys!

 

 

and happy anniversary to karen and dustin!

 

 

(if you were there and you want me to send you all the photos, let me know!) 

 

 

 

children's fesival

we were quite lucky that our trip to medford happened to be at the same time as the annual children's festival in jacksonville. we grew up going this festival and it was really fun to take my kids. so much of it was exactly how i remember it being. it goes without saying, but coen and marin had a blast!

after a super fun week in seattle, the kids and i flew down to medford. wes had work to do in denver so he missed out on all the fun, and also on the 105 degree weather. we packed a lot of hanging out into our week. it is always fun to fly into the medford airport. pretty much the whole town comes out to greet us. ok, maybe not...but close. 

 

 

we tried our very very best to spend as much time hanging out at grandma's house as possible. nana bought the kids a pool, and we had a freezer stocked with otter pops.

 

 

 

 

 

 

as soon as the sun started to set we would head out for some street play. coen learned to ride a two wheel bike when we were in seattle, so he was very excited to ride around grandma's neighborhood. our cousin jordan came to hang out too, the kids both love him.

 



we pretended it was cool enough for a fire pit and smores. 

 

grandma love.
