4th of July Weekend Recap

Friday - Raleigh and I hung out on Jeremy's boat in the Kirkland marina with Marge, Jeremy, Leslie and Guy. After the sunset we enjoyed a delicious dinner at Zeeks.

Saturday - our new trailer took it's maiden voyage to Harstine Island. We spent the day and night relaxing with Mike and Mo and left Sunday mid-day to head back home.

Sunday - we had dinner at Robbie and Nicole's house with the Poorts, the Johnsons (in town from Bozeman) and the Northcotts. The kids played and the adults enjoyed some amazing food, good company and a few cocktails. I'm pretty sure Raleigh left with a bit of a crush on Taylor, Maddy and Sloane...he's become quite the little flirt.  You know times have changed when there's a baby bottle sitting next to a Four Loko on the table.

Monday - Happy 4th of July! Summertime calls for the "Galen Special" aka a buzzcut for Steve so that's what we did first thing Monday morning.  We also worked in the yard and around the house and then went to my parents so Raleigh could spend some quality time with my mom before she left Tues morning on her 21-day adventure through Europe with her best friend. That night, Steve and I went down to Kirkland and hung out on Jeremy's boat to watch the fireworks with the soon-to-be Youngs, the Bunyards, Wexler, Guy and Leslie. The night was perfect minus the drive back to my parents (to spend the night). A drive that usually takes 10 minutes took over an hour...traffic was miserable.

Tuesday - Raleigh and I continued the long weekend with a long walk at Greenlake, watching the kids play in the wading pool (I think he was a bit envious) and a playdate with Jamie at the Laurelhurst Beach Club...perfect Seattle day!
