We spent 5 gloriously hot, sunny days on Shaw Island in July! 
Kate enjoyed every minute of the ferry ride ~ so much space to run, so many people to greet (and each one commenting on how cute she is)! A dream come true!
We brought our bikes to the Island and while Dad set up camp, we immediately hit the beach.
Ready for a jumping game over a piece of kelp?!
The boys found every single way to enjoy the warm waters of low tide, including a good, old-fashioned mud bath.
We started each day with a run around the loop or to the ferry dock. The boys and Grandma joined on bikes for the runs to the dock.
Exploring Pebble Beach
Shaw Island has a tiny school with a play area as big as the school house!
Duck, Duck, Goose!!
The boys rode their bikes all the way to the Ferry dock, just in time to see the ferry dock and the cars load.
Owen woke bright and early to work on the tractor!
Then the boys picked up tools and got to work on the power line ditch.

An afternoon on the water is enough to tucker us all out ...
Owen is flashing "I love you" signs and kicking back. Notice the rubber band on his right hand? He found it either on the ferry or when we first got to the property, and he declared it his "power ring." Grandpa noticed it and pretended he wanted to take away "Oreo"'s Power. (that's his nickname for O) From that moment on, Owen held tight to his power ring and began collecting. It's been over a month, and both he and Collin have at all times at least three "power rings" on their person (on their arm, wrist, fingers, ankle). Each "ring" holds specific powers, such as speed, height, strength ... and the ability to cut off circulation, so we have to keep a close watch. ; )
We had races across the field to burn off the "before-bedtime" s'mores!
The Girls arrived to play on our last day!!
Great pics Jenny! I need to bring my stick and get those from you.
