Our week on Orcas

We had a really amazing time on Orcas Island this year. Lots of relaxing. But lots of activities too.

Exploring, whale watching, whale not seeing, our first big girl bike, our first night camping, mega forts and tons of fun with Curt, Amy and Quinn (fresh off her first birthday!)...

Here's a bit of the action:

First time jumping in on her own. Pretty excited.

Ellie got an ovation from the people at the pool and proceeded to jump approximately 200 more times in hopes of recreating the moment.

Spontaneous Friday morning dance party

The name says it all.

Turn your volume way up for full effect.



Wicked moves start at :50.

Happy birthday, Poppy!

Ellie decided to do some moodily-lit photos to help celebrate.



We love you and can't wait to see you this weekend!

Happy Birthday, Grandpa Iwen!

It's probably pretty obvious, but Ellie has some serious moves.









And she's putting them on display in honor of Grandpa's birthday.

Hope it's a great one!

Happy Father's Day to Poppy, Grandpa Iwen and...me!



Father's Day is always extra special for me as it's the day we found out we were pregnant with Eleanor.

This year we went to see the Mariners play (and win) then headed home for a great BBQ.

Pretty awesome day all around. Hope yours was great too!
