Getting Chummy in Lummi - Meyer Bell 1st Annual Summer Retreat

Last weekend, we took a few extra days and headed to Lummi Island with the Bell Family for our 1st Annual Summer Retreat.  Tons of fun, tons of pictures, not a lot of order, but it was fun.  What did we expect, we had a 3 year old, a 2 year old and a pair of 1 year olds.  Can't wait to do it all again!

Thursday morning we headed out ready for an unforgetable weekend!

A few minutes into the trip, Griffin couldn't handle the excitement and decided to nap.

After a quick lunch in Bellingham, we were off to the ferry and ready for "Island Life".

A little game of football with Liv and Griffin while we were waiting.


What makes puffs better? Eating them out of construction trucks!

We arrived and it was time to hit the beach.

Yes, the perfect way to spend a summer weekend.

Someone is finally getting his 2 year molars and had a few rough evenings in Lummi.  Daddy was a trooper with car rides and cuddles.
