Camano Island

 The kids and I were lucky enough to be invited to our friend's beach house on Camano Island this weekend (Kevin is away on a guys weekend). We had the best time and fell in love with Camano Island, now I want a beach house there. Anyone want to buy me one? :) 

 The guys were so nice and patient and took all the kids out in groups of 3 to fish. They made sure each kid caught a fish, which I thought was so so amazing! I found out later each kid caught the same fish, the dads weren't actually taking it off the line and they'd "throw" it back out while still on the line and let each kid reel it in. Smart dads, gullible me:) The kids were beyond thrilled with their catch! 

 This is poor fish who got reeled in over and over. Nick was feeling pretty darn proud! So cute! 

 Bennet & Ben going out for round 2. They wanted to be in the boat all day!

 The dads also taught the kids to skip rocks, or at least attempted to teach them. It was entertaining to watch them try. 

 The neighbors set up this slide off their deck that goes into an old boat full of water. The kids LOVED it and all kept saying it was just like the fair. I say it's WAY better than the fair since it was set up by someone with a full set of teeth and doesn't cost $4 per ride! 

 They even got out a trash bag to make it go faster. 

 So fun!

 Ben is in the front of the boat, loving just riding along. 

 As soon as he got off the boat Ben headed over for some slide action. 

 A little colder than he expected. He only went down once. 

 The whole gang of kids minus Haley & Sydney who left early. Most of this group met when the oldest kids were about 6 months old, now lots of them are starting kindergarten, crazy! In no time we'll have a pic of them all graduating high school! 

 Ben took his marshmallow roasting really seriously! 

 Yum!

 Since Sarah & I were both single moms for the weekend we decided to bring a tent and stay over. The kids LOVED the tent and apparently thought it was a bouncy house, they all jumped in it forever. 

 Nighty night, sleep tight... or not. Lauren slept all night, Ben not so much. He just couldn't get comfy and only seemed to be able to sleep if he had his arms wrapped around my neck, I'm not kidding when I say the boy likes to cuddle. Needless to say mommy didn't get the best night sleep. 

And since there were 4 kids & 2 moms in the tent it was a full house. But so fun! 

Both of my kids are napping right now, maybe we should sleep in tents more often:) 

Thanks Pepins for a fabulous day!
