Mia made homemade fraps for our neighbor, Avery!

Nay loves this hand me down tent!

It was a hard decision due to Covid, but we decided it was worth the risk to spend a few days up in  Tacoma and visiting some of our dearest friends, the Inversos and Millers!! We love the Inverso's new house on the Puget Sound! It is so beautiful!

The girls were so excited to spend time together! Its been way too long! Kyrie decided to stay home and have some quality time with Dad!

Many great memories at the Inverso's old house for the past 15 years! One last visit to see the amazing basement renovation they did before closing on the house a day later!

Maco had to cancel his GFU youth camp due to Covid, so he held a small camp at our local park for our Camas friends that had signed up for the camp! Love that Maco did this for Kyrie and his friends! And the families got a better deal! Free camp and not having to drive to Newberg!!
