We spent a couple of perfect days on Orcas Island with family. We loved it! We kinda want to move there - they get a lot less rain than the rest of the area. It's not practical though, especially with the whole no job there thing. :) But it was beautiful!
This one is always happy to pose for pictures. Run through the grass? Okay!
It's a small island, but we had no problem finding fresh fish sold out of someone's shed/barn. Some of the cousins were brave enough to try oysters.
Cousins that wish they could spend more time together! I can't believe how big they are getting.
The view from Mount Constitution was INCREDIBLE. It was pretty clear - not quite clear enough to see all the way to Mt. Rainier, but close.
We ran up & down these stairs a lot of times. So cool!
And here's Mount Baker. We used to have a view (of the other side) from our front window growing up.
My in-laws live in sort of paradise (if you are okay without too much sun). They have an amazing yard, lots of room, and my mother in law is such a great gardener. As a photographer I wish I could use their yard every day! So beautiful. The kids loved the grassy hill. :)
What a sunrise! It made an early morning drive a little easier!
Grandma helped the girls dress up and we used a corner of her yard for some pretty pictures.
The girls especially loved Grandma's hats!
She wanted the serious face because it's more old-fashioned that way. I guess she is right, right?
Definitely my most enthusiastic model! She was so happy.
It was also the 4th of July and I really love fireworks pictures! Sparklers were especially fun.
A little Harry Potter action.
Writing her name in sparks. Nice that she is not afraid of them this year!
