Island Olympics

This past weekend, summer FINALLY arrived in the Pacific Northwest.  In honor of the summer weather, we headed to the beach -- Camano Island Beach, that is.  We had some strict rules for the nice weather:

1)  Spend as much time outside as possible
2)  Drink as much cool, refreshing beer as possible
3)  Do as many different athletic activities as possible (all the while pretending you are competing for Olympic Gold)

We are proud to report that we accomplished all 3 goals and we have the suntans, headaches, and "gold medal waves" to prove it!!
Some of the "events" that occurred this weekend were:  long distance running, tennis, paddle boarding, kayaking, football (both in ocean and out), paddle ball, "walktailing," and monkey ball.  Here, Erica is ready for the "gold medal" tennis match.

Team Erica and Elliott vs Shawn and Kyle.  One team was focused.  The other ... not so much.

Elliott showing the young ones how a proper serve is done.  He took that serve all the way to the podium.

Resting between events.  Football to wine to monkeyballs.

Adam showing his podium wave.  "V for Victory."

For some reason Heidi did not place in tennis.  Something about her game wasn't quite right.
