what a way to end the summer

we have had such a great summer! it's gone by way too fast and yes, i'm sad for it to all come to an end. but, we were able to do a lot of fun things the last couple of weeks and make a lot of great memories. first, we went out to the olympic peninsula with our friends, the sutton's. it was pretty last minute and much too short, but everything worked out and we had a blast. melissa is the photographer so she has most of the pictures on her camera, but i still wanted to post a few that i had so you can see just how beautiful it is. i can't believe we've lived here for over 4 years and had never been out there. how sad. whoever comes to visit us next gets to take a weekend and head out there with us.
