My favorite little birdies up in the tree........:) Next we're off to Crater Lake and a visit with Aunt Jenny!!!! YAHOOOOOOO!!!!!!

The Dungeness Spit is full of fun things to climb on as Jenna shows! The lighthouse is in the background and Mt. Baker is off in the distance.

The girls enjoying their newly built beach house........

Cassidy builds wet sand cakes with rock sprinkles instead of a cairn.

Jenna's cairn......

Camryn leaves her cairn behind to mark her visit.

A spa treatment at the beach.........

Time to sink those toes into some ewwwie-gooey mud!!! Irresistible!!!

Here's our little beauty Jenna in her new beach pad! You'd have to search far to meet a more wonderful 14 year old..........helpful & sweet & very fun!!!!

My heart is so happy seeing these children together and their great love for eachother.

Life is GOOD!!!!

The Cuzzies visit Marymere Falls again.

Pretty girl........that's Camryn Rose. Just as sweet as she is gorgeous!

Fishing is hard work........time to relax!

Practicing her casting skills......Jenna and Camryn are good teachers (and Lois can fix any flubbed up line!!!:))

Cassidy loves Camryn (and Jenna too!)............We headed out to Crescent Lake so the girls could practice fishing.........

Cassidy's cuzzies, Camryn and Jenna, are here visiting for a few weeks! The weather has been gorgeous so we headed outside for some music in the park..........FUN!!!

July 18, 2010--- Cassidy was baptized in the name of Jesus today!!! She was really scared to go under the water but she really wanted to do this.......pink goggles and all! I actually did the dunking because she asked me to.......so I had the extreme joy of baptizing my wonderful daughter!!!! Too cool!!! I'll never forget it!!!

Another shot of our little Giselle.........It's so fun being a mom!!!!!

It's too bad that she doesn't take any joy in dancing........hahaha! :)

TOO CUTE!!!!! Cassidy had three ballet classes this week and it was adorable and a blast! She loved it!

Cassidy and Emma running the trail that leads to gorgeous Marymere Falls. Gotta love and envy such energy!!

Kids love the beach more than peanut butter loves jelly! (Or as Bobus loves to say: as a fat kid loves chocolate cake! haha!)

The Bankert girls love playing outside!

Happy Campers under an awesome, old tree!

My fun-loving girlfriend Linda took Cassidy and Emma out for a spin on her cool little boat!

We went camping last weekend at Crescent Lake with some friends. It was actually in the 90's here and this freezing water felt GOOD!!!! (That's a first for me!!!) Look out Jenny.......we be ready for Crater Lake!!!!!! Yahoo!!!! Can't wait to see you buddy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We went to a wonderful tea party at our friend Charli's home a few nights ago........Cassidy and Emma had their own spot and their own stash of cupcakes out in the garden! (Check out the gorgeous gown from Grandma Foust!!!!!:))

Hello Sweet Bean!

Our little bathing beauty!

Hiking the Spruce Railroad Trail on Crescent Lake.......Cassidy wants to jump in the cold water but it's not that hot outside!!!

We're on a mission to see all the waterfalls in the area! This one is Fairview Waterfall near Quilcene, WA.
