Roche Harbor Staycation!

Well, I've done it again. I've gotten waaaay behind on my posting. It's been another busy summer and we have really taken advantage of the time off to get away or have visitors!

1 month ago we went to the San Juan Islands specifically Roche Harbor to celebrate our good friend Kris Lande's (now Kirn :) ) nuptials to her main squeeze. It was probably one of the most beautiful and heartfelt ceremonies I've seen. So special and it was so nice to be there with all our friends too!

After the wedding weekend, we reserved a week with our good friends the Eastman's and Rigelmans from Wenatchee at a beautiful home just literally down the street from Roche Harbor.

It was an AMAZING 10 days away. We feel so lucky that we got to see SO many friends from different parts of our life in 1 vacation. I do have to admit, there is something about the San Juans that leaves me daydreaming of living the island life. After you see the photos, you'll know why!
IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL!


The "Krevins" Kris looked AMAZING:)
The bridal party. I loved their yellow dresses.
The Girls!
Spry, Parker and I obviously got the memo to wear stripes!
A nice little breakfast in the marina:)
The house view from the water where we stayed for a week with.....
these wonderful friends!!! We sure do miss our Wenatchee friends.
Our beautiful view from the house.
Where we spent many evenings around the campfire,
eating crab cocktails, playing games and telling ghost stories! My favorite!
And of course we had some reading time with Kevin, Parker and Ellie!
A little clam digging!
And these two kept us busy. SO cute. only 1 day and 1 year apart!
Yup....didn't plan this. Matching pjs AND in the toy bin together:) We had to take a pic!
Adorable Ellie and her adorable mamma Kristin.
We did lots of fishing and crabbing. Nothing like what Michaela caught...an Ivory King Salmon!! The RAREST salmon you can catch!
Here the guys are with the Ivory King. I'm bummed I didn't get a pic of her holding it!
Look at all that CRAB!
Have I mentioned I LOVE to crab. My belly is proof here:)
Parker's favorite thing. Crabbing and driving the boat with daddy!
I'm a little excited to crabbing again...hee:)
loved our lazy afternoons with this amazing view
and ALL the fun games we played. Man I miss these girls!
Parker loved the hammock!
