Here are Levi and Max.
I like this picture of Levi and Clarie at our campground!
Here are the three down by the river.
There were a couple other med-school families camping and on Saturday we all went for a hike. Surprisingly the kids did good! Claire was in the backpack of course, but Levi did most of the hike up on his own. But after 4 miles of hiking up, he was exhausted on the way down; Josh carried him.
On the hike.
One of the great views on the hike.
At the top. Ironically, we had beautiful weather during the whole hike. That is, until we got to the top! Then the clouds rolled in. But that did not stop Jule and a couple others from swimming! 
This picture of Claire is so cute. She is lounging in grandma Kay's backyard throwing rocks in the creek. 
Perhaps the greatest highlight in August: Claire's hair is long enough for pig-tails!
In August I took the kids on their first ferry ride. We went to Bremerton to visit a high-school friend and her family. 
Here is Karli, Levi and Claire. Karli's mom, Aurelia, and I went to Chugiak High together and then Central Washington together. Her and John have two girls, Karil and Melanie. They have a fantastic house on a lake in Bremerton. Obviously it was a beautiful day! 
Here are Levi and Claire on Aurelia's boat. No, they are not sleeping.
Aurelia wake boarding. She is really good!
Aurelia's sister Shiloh and Melanie.
Towards the end of the month, Tina and I kept up our annual tradition of blueberry picking. We each got 19 pounds!
And finally, at the end of August Josh had enough time for me. We dropped the kids off at his mom's and we went for a two night camping trip. Well, it was supposed to be two nights. His only time off was Labor Day and unfortunatley the weather in Seattle was quite uncooperative. Since Dorothy Lake is a protected land, we could not have a fire. It was so stinking cold up there! So on Sunday morning, we decided to pack up, head down the mountain and find another campground. As soon as we got up to start packing, the rain started falling. It did not stop until we reached our car. We were so wet, so cold and so miserable we bagged the whole camping thing. Instead we drove to Monroe and went to the movies! But it was nice to just hang out!
