Even though June is the official start of summer, it doesn't really start to feel like summer until July. And it feels even more like summer when I am home in Seattle with my whole family! Spending one week together was definitely a highlight.
The first day was spent downtown at Safeco Field cheering on the Mariners.
some nephew snuggles
the whole gang - lots of strollers and lots of kids! And if you didn't catch the matching t-shirt memo, it was Italian night!
Our next main event was the family "Ragnar" around Lake Sammamish. For the last 4 summers I've run Ragnar, a 200 mile relay race. This year, since nobody signed up for a Ragnar, we were all feeling the Ragnar withdrawals. Especially my mom. Which is why she created a homemade relay race around the lake, which totaled 26 miles. Our team consisted of myself, Brodie, mom, Amy, Mel, Dave, and of course Luna :)

And of course, no trip to Seattle would be complete without lots of water sports. Both Brodie and I tried surfing for the first time (my new fave) and took some spins on the wakeboard.
Other activities included lots of baby snuggles, raspberry picking, game nights, s'mores, and 4th of July dinner + fireworks.

we picked 29 pounds of raspberries!! And thanks to Mel, now we have yummy jam :)
s'mores down at the lake
After s'mores we watched the firework show over Lake Sammamish from the boat. Putting 15 people onto one boat was a little squishy, but we managed. Brodie and I were right up front, hence our "wind in our faces" picture below.
and to wrap it up. . . a picture of our lovely faces
