After the semester was over Colin, April, Brian, Lacy, Jordan, and Natalie all made the long drive to join us up in Washington. Then we went over to Orcas Island for a camping trip. It was so much fun, it was the first time since both of my brothers have been married that we were able to have a family vacation. We had a lot of fun and we even got to celebrate Cameron's birthday while we were there. The kids loved the Star Wars Party and Laura did such a good job with every detail!!! My only complaint of the trip was the heat and the bees, I have serious issues with bees. The kids had such a blast and we loved going swimming in the lake everyday. Jakob and Colin even got to jump off a bridge into the lake!!!! Here are some fun pictures of our adventure!!!

I just liked this picture, Natalie did such a good job of entertaining the kids on the ferry ride back. Thanks Natalie you are awesome!!!After camping we were able to head over to the Bowlers house where the rest of the family was already and join them for a few days. We were able to get the I -90 to see the blue angles
