NOTE FROM STACY

What a wonderful summer! It wasn't due to any extended vacations or endless play-time; it was the quality of the experiences we had. My husband and I spent almost a week on our boat, in the San Juan Islands with six other family members. We also had two other friends cruise with us on their boat which added to the fun.

The trip was filled with many firsts for our nephew and niece. We were able to share in their excitement of seeing Orca whales in their natural habitat, catching Dungeness crab and exploring the waters of the Puget Sound on our nephew's first scuba diving trip. I was able to share one of my favorite activities of hiking out to a lighthouse on one of the islands. We enjoyed a picnic on the hillside as we watched seals play and boats going by.

My 30th high school class reunion was also a highlight. It was fun to spend two days with old friends, many of which I hadn't seen since our last reunion and some it had been since high school. I wonder if I was the only one that had no voice by the end of the weekend after all that chatting?

The summer wouldn't have been complete without our "annual" seafood boil with family, friends and neighbors. Hopefully we will be able to fit in a few more BBQ's and days on the boat before the weather turns and we are officially into fall. I hope you get to add a few more fun "moments" in to your summer too!
