San Juan Island!

We had a wonderful vacation

on San Juan Island.

My McGivers sister invited

everyone to come for a

'Family Campout'!

It was wonderful, 

Pat & David,

were wonderful hosts!

(pampered us beyond belief ).

We took Lulu with us and

she had an amazing time.

We stayed in our Nomad (just happy) trailer.

(I stole that line from my cousin Lisa).

It was my maiden voyage in it,

and I really enjoyed the comfort.

The rest of the family (adult children and

their children, (grandchildren) slept

in tents. His two other sisters also

live on the island, and opted to go

home to their own beds...

The story telling tipi!

We had two wonderful evenings

of story telling and singing songs in the tent!

The first eveining we took turns adding onto

 a bear legend story, by looking at a

fabulous folk lore bear picture! 

The next evening we 

sang old time camp songs,

Auntie Pat and Auntie Pam

printed off for all of us!

What fun we all had!

Rushing down to the beach!

Pants rolled up, checking out the beach very carefully!

Audrey's the only one that see's a shark!!!

Phew...it's just a rock!

~a Different beach~

Everyone loooved beach combing, they found

lots of wonderful little eels, crabs and

sea stars to look at, 

and then released them

all back into nature!

~Simply beautiful~

A walk through the woods to the other

side of the island (South Beach).

Oh My!

Mona the camel, (yes camel) 

lives on San Juan Island,

she's famous...she's on the label of one of

San Juan Vinyards wines!

Mona Vino is only sold in the tasting rooms...

~Washington State Ferry~

Our mode of transportation to and from the island!

I looove riding on the ferries, there's

just something about them...

Not sure what it is, but I always

look forward to my next ferry ride!

~a free concert~

 Island Rec. (San Juan Island)

Music on the Lawn Concert series...

Deadwood Revival –

Progressive old-timey band with feel good music.

They were wonderful, and the setting

doesn't get much better!

~Uncle David groovin' to the music~

~Lulu loves to people watch~

She's listening to the music,

while keeping a watchful eye

on the crowd behind us!

~*~ 

We even had an art project!

~Lacey watching Audrey working on her art project~

~Lulu decided to make hers for her Mama~

Auntie Pat & Auntie Pam

had this wonderful art project

for everyone to make!

They had just about everything

imaginable to use

in or on them,

it was so much fun!

We had a wonderful time, the

weather was glorious and it

was so much fun visiting

with family!

Thanks so much for visiting

if you left me a message!

Always, Debbie~
