Summer!

We've been enjoying the lovely weather here in Seattle this summer. With the temperature averaging about 70-75 degrees, how could we complain? We've enjoyed Puget Sound a lot, specifically kayaking. And I've enjoyed walking the dogs around our beautiful neighborhood.

One day when we were finished kayaking, we were loading up, and a photographer asked if he could take our picture and if we minded being in the Mukilteo Beacon. So we made it into the local newspaper. We've made it big! Haha. Here is Face 52, the photographer's blog.

We kayaked over to Hat Island, which looks close, but it was about a 3 1/2 hour trip altogether.

But the trip was definitely worth it! We saw God's creation up close, really up close. Not only did we see nature, but we saw lots of seals. That black speck in the picture is a seal. We didn't get a picture of the seal that was 5 feet from us, as we were startled and amazed that we were so close to a wild animal. We could hear it breathing...it was awesome! This is the best photo we have of a seal, but I'm sure we'll be more prepared next time.
