Family Island

We love going out to Sauvie Island in the summer, perfect place to play in the sand, water, and sun. Last summer we went quite a few times but this summer got away from us and it was September before we realized we hadn't even gone once. Fortunately our summer weather was still here so we packed up and headed out...

It's safe to say the girls were in heaven

 The kids' favorite part was when the huge boats would go by and create big waves for them to jump in and out of.

 The girls played so well and it gave us adults (Heather came and Dusty and the boys joined too) time to relax and lay back.
After we had soaked up "family island" we went to visit one of Heather's coworkers who just moved into a house boat right near Sauvie Island. Bria was so curious about a house being on the water and was thrilled to ask questions and visit this amazing invention :)
They wanted to get in the kayak but were a little nervous about it in the water, so Brian being super Dad helped warm them up to the idea:

It worked because eventually they both got in...

We had such an amazing day and it was a perfect way to say goodbye to summer.
