( ok soon to be 11). :) This was his second triathalon!!! What a rock star!

Holiday.....

We had a wonderful week off. We rented a cabin on Whidbey Island and did some camping on Lake Cowichan with friends. This was our first trip to Whidbey Island. The little sea side town of Langley on Whidbey Island is very cute and worth a visit. We did lots of reading, relaxing and eating.

Here are some photos of Whidbey Island:

It looks like you have a great family. This is the first template that I used with my blog. It's great to see it again. Good luck on your journey!

Your pictures make me want to go camping too. No time this year, maybe next year? What with 2 tots?! Ya you're right, that would be crazy.
