Picnic and swimming at Lake Washington

(Looking towards Mercer Island, and south to Renton.)

Julie Highfield, one of my bestest WA friends is planning on moving to Utah at the end of this month. Since it will be a long time before we see each other again, we decided to get together one last time before she left, and so headed up to Coulon Beach on the east side of Lake Washington for a bbq and some fun. Our other friends, Jen Smith, and Sunny Twiddy, joined us as well.

It was a beautiful day, and the kids had lots of fun playing at the playground, and on the dock.




And of course, we can't forget the sand and water!






Here are most of the kidlets. Nicholas Smith, Jessa Highfield, William Smith, Teya (Jessa's friend), Brooklyn, Noah and Zach Highfield.


And here we are. . . Jen, Julie, Sunny and Me


I'm going to miss you, Julie! :)
