Well it is already June. I am not sure where half the year went.

This past weekend Ian got to go fishing for the first time. He has wanted to go fishing with Dad for a while now, and we finally had the opportunity to take him.

The friend Ty usually goes fishing with had a good-sized boat (no I don’t know the what size). But it fit six of us, he brought his two daughters.

The fishing was slow, we caught four trout but one had to go back. The kids got to reel in all the fish.

Ian had a great time, he loved being on the boat. It was a wonderful day.

We are sailing. We like pirates. Argh Matey! Shiver me timbers!

Quesadillas

It is finally getting warm here in the Pacific NW.

I say that like it is summer time and we haven’t had any nice days.

Today I wanted my husband to blow up Ian’s little pool because it was getting really hot. He wanted to mow the lawn first. So Ian and I headed over to Bamma’s house.

Her pool is not up and running yet, since May just started. Although she did work on it this weekend. Which means the weather will probably go to crap now that we have a way to cool off.

Since we couldn’t cool off in either of the pools we improvised.
