Boating is the Best!

We have been out on the Columbia River on Chris & Eva's boat a handful of times this summer and our entire family enjoys it immensely. There's nothing like sun, sand, and water on a warm summer afternoon!


Alex and Ella found some sticks to play with, 


while Nicholas kept cool in the shade and cheered them on.


It was a family affair with Kris & Jami


Chris & Eva


Cousins Ella and Zoie


Ella and took at photo of our sand shadows. Ella thought it was so cool that we could see our shadows!



 I am so blessed to have these two beautiful women in my life. I grew up with two brothers and always wanted a sister. Marrying Jeff gave me Eva and Jami and I am forever grateful to have them both in my life. 


I guess no one else got the memo that it was silly face time. 



Ella loves being buried in the sand...



And busting out!


 Brother-in-laws


 Nothing but sand and sky as far as the eye can see


Later Zoie took some photos of us when we weren't paying attention...



but finally got a decent one of all the adults after a few tries. 


On the way back to the marina, Ella demanded to sit by her cousin and wear some shades because the sun was so low in the sky. 



Nicholas loved sitting next to cousin Alex and Alex loved it too. 


 We feel so blessed to be able to spend hot summer days on the water with our amazing family. Beautiful memories have been made.
