So August....
After our crazy July, I had hoped that August would be a bit more quieter. However, with Phil ending up having to go out of town on business, Z turning 4, and having our church's family camp, it was less than relaxing, but a whole lot of fun.
We did a few fun things at the beginning of the month like...
Go to the Zoo
Learn how to use power tools
Do some preliminary schooling (only because they wanted to!)
And we discovered Garden Tots at Kruckeberg Gardens which became our Friday tradition through the end of September. Every week there would be a different nature theme (grasses, ferns, seeds, etc.) where they would do a scavenger hunt in the garden and finish up with a craft.
Z also had his birthday - the big 4. We decided to go to the Seattle Children's Museum for his birthday in lieu of a party, and we had a great time with his two grandmas and one of his grandpas.
On his actual birthday (the museum was over the weekend), we took grandma and grandpa blueberry picking at Mercer Slough. It was definitely near the end of the season, but it was a lot of fun anyway!
The next weekend was our Church Family Camp on Whidbey Island. It was a lot of fun, and our first time actually camping out. Unfortunately Phil dislocated his shoulder which made things more complicated (and exhausting for me), but overall, we enjoyed our time and fellowship with our church.

We also got to go down to Graham the last weekend in August to visit some of Phil's cousins. It's nice for the boys to hang out with their second-cousins since they have no cousins of their own. We got some silly family shots while we were down there too.
