Fun With The Christensen Family

On Saturday, June 15th, after my triathlon race was done we headed down to Tacoma and hung out with our good friends, the Christensens for a night.  My boys love playing with their son Max and Julian loves chasing the chickens in their backyard.  They even set up the badminton net for us.  We had a fun evening on Saturday with them.  We went to church on Sunday and then stuck around for some yummy Fathers Day dinner.

After dinner Hyrum drove back to Portland and I drove over to Bremerton to visit with my parents for a few days (but that will be a different post)

It is so fun to visit Aaron and Kari and their cute family.  I absolutely love the welcoming, relaxed, friendly atmosphere at their house.

On our way to the Christensens we stopped by Point Defiance beach for a nice walk on the boardwalk as well as some fun searching for pretty rocks.  It was a beautiful, clear day and you could even see Mt. Rainier off in the distance.

It was a tradition of ours, when we lived in Washington a few years ago, to always get a milkshake at this cute little diner near Point Defiance.  I love the homemade milkshakes and my boys loved sitting at the old time counter.

Watermelon is always a hit with the kids on a hot summer day.  This is Max, Eli and Emerson.

The chickens!!!

I got out some paints and paper for the kids to make Fathers Day cards for their dads.  Tessa really loved painting.

Maggie got bored painting on paper and decided to decorate her moms legs instead:)
