We went to Mount St Helen's about a month ago and visited the ape caves and went on a small hike to a suspension bridge with a waterfall view! Ian hung out in the back pack and loved his free ride, compliments of Victor. He had fun playing around with his flashlight and letting us know every time he heard someone coming. He really liked the bridge and waterfall too. He just enjoys being outside in general.
We took our boat out for the first time since last year about three weeks ago. We took our friends Brooke and Mike and their little man Maika (He's one of the kids I watch regularly) out to our Devil's Head Island (one of our favorite spots) to roast some weenies and let the kids play around. Unfortunately it was a pretty high high tide, so there wasn't as much beach as there usually is, but we managed. There were some campers on the island who's boat had broken down, so Victor gave 9 people a ride back to Zittel's Marina. (Mr. Hero)It was the only hot day of Summer we've had so far, so we picked the perfect day to go out and watch the sunset! I'm still praying this means summer will last extra long this year since it's almost July and we've only had 2-3 decent temperature days.
Two weeks ago we had our friends the George's over for a BBQ as well! Ian's been friends with their oldest daughter Sabina (she's almost 3) since he was born. I hadn't seen their youngest daughter Athena since she was born in December, so I loved every moment! Ian had an absolute blast playing with Sabina and they got along so well!! I look forward to getting together with them again soon!
Two days after the George's came over for a BBQ we had both sides of the family over for another BBQ on Father's Day! Ian loved spending all that time with his Papa's, Grandma's and Uncle's! It is so wonderful to have a house of our own to host family events and Holidays in! I look forward to many more!
Oh yes, I forgot to mention that Ian has been potty training! He wears undies all day and only wears pull ups at nap and bedtime. He tends to stay dry at nap more than 50% of the time and he even stayed dry at night twice in a row a couple weeks ago! I was impressed and hope we can get back to that! It feels weird not taking spare diapers with me anymore, but I have to say I'm loving it! He occasionally has an accident here or there still, but we are well on our way to being completely potty trained.
That's all I can think to update everyone on for now. I'll make another post after we find out the sex of the baby!
