One day, while Ryan was away at Girl's Camp, we painted our toenails! Thanks to Samantha for the picture idea and to Ashlee for the suggesting the use of a highchair for baby toe pedicures.
We rode the Duck! Here we're on Lake Union in Seattle. We went with Ryan's family and had a blast. Who knew amphibious war vehicles could be so much fun? The other day Emma said we "needed to go ride the Duck again." 
Miriam liked the Duck too. Despite the wind, yelling, music, and rocky ride, she fell asleep in my lap. 
We took family pictures with Ryan's family. Above, Aeneas and Natalie are helping Gracie (the girl's cousins) get to the picture location. Antonio and Kristin are to the right.
We threw rocks into Puget Sound. Pictured are Antonio, Gracie, Staci, Emma, Hannah, and Natalie.
We spent a week on the Oregon Coast with Ryan's family. We all had such a great time and made so many fun memories. We flew kites (you may notice the kite is flying itself in this picture), played games, watched games, soaked in the hot tub, built sand castles, fed seals, ate saltwater taffy, and toured a cheese factory! Our camera never seemed to make it out of our bag, so we have very few pictures. Hopefully, everyone else will send us copies of theirs. Hint, hint.
We barbequed at both Grandma's houses and enjoyed visiting with Julie, Dave, and little Natalie from New York.
We went out to lunch with Grandma and Grandpa Kane.
We swam at the pool with Auntie Ann, Grandma Carlson, Auntie Julie, Uncle Dave, and Natalie.
??? This is just a funny Emma picture. 
Grandma Carlson and the girls taught cousin Natalie how to play Water Monster. Water Monster is any game played outside that involves lots of water and screaming.
We almost went crazy.
We played at the beach.
Miriam and Hannah bonded.
It was a great summer. Thanks to all of our family who traveled so far to come visit us. Memories are made of this!

I absolutely love the picture of the toenails. So much girly fun! I also think it is hilarious that Emma has a "pot head." Definately could be interpreted a few ways.
WOW! Busy summer indeed! I just love the Oregon coast, and what fun to be able to do it with the extended fam.
I don't think you did enough!!! jk I'm glad your summer was so much fun! I also heard that your not feeling super great lately so I hope that clears up soon. Let me know if I can do anything.
