Berthusen Park

I volunteered to go on a Samantha's field trip today to Berthusen Park in Lynden! We road a bus and everything!

We sat in the back of the bus where the 5th graders usually sit!

Sam found a "Howe" weigh station!

School BBQ

Samantha's school had a BBQ yesterday. Well it really wasnt a BBQ because they served hamburgers that they probably heated up in the microwave...Sam was happy that we all went!

Old friends...

Sunday morning we headed over to the Hodge's lake house on Lake Whatcom for a hot tub and a visit. It so nice to finally be able to reconnect with old friends. Hunter and I were like best friends all through our twenties and then we got married had kids and now we get to raise our families hanging out and having good times!
