Fun in the sun!

We left town on this infamous boat race weekend (as we usually do...how long have we lived here and NEVER been to the races?) to soak up some sun and visit some family. My Aunt Tami and Uncle Pepe brought their girls to Washington for awhile so we met Grandpa and Grandma Great up at the house and spent two days on the water. Darran did some exploring on the kayak...
...and then let Eliza have a ride.

Later they went out together looking for fish...it took awhile but we think she finally saw some!

Eliza and Grandma spent some time making sand castles.

And our eagle friend enjoyed a fish up in one of the trees. He was literally right above us so Darran got some awesome close up pictures.

Eliza loves being on the boat...she spends her time telling Grandpa how to drive. Ready, set, go...and faster, faster! She also shows a lot of concern by asking those who have fallen in the water if they are ok...and keeps asking until there is a response!

And even though Daddy couldn't talk her in to braving a tube ride yet (much to my relief), they enjoyed riding on the boat until Daddy took his turn.

Elayna, Darran, and Courtney (Elayna's good friend) out for one last ride on the tubes before calling it a day.
