My brother turned the big 3-0 this month! We celebrated with him on Whidbey Island, where he and Meg threw a party. My parents arrived a little early, and we came just in time to set up and enjoy the festivities. Heading out to Whidbey Island means the kids get to marvel at riding on a ferry boat, which they love to do. I’m pretty sure they think it’s called a fairy boat. I mean, what kind of magical boat carries cars across the water?
Seeing my parents two months in a row is such a rare treat! Meg and I used our party banners to jazz up the place. We had over 100 feet of festive.
Turning 30 doesn’t get you out of sitting at the kids’ table, JP.
We enjoyed this lovely retreat and time with cousins.
On Sunday morning, my parents went to Mass, and the rest of us opted for nature church.
We took some family photos, which were each photo-bombed by Fiona and Carlos, respectively. The Patinos:
And the Lillards: (Carlos is rowdier at photo-bombing than Fiona.)
A beautiful day for the beach!
After all the festivities, we headed back to the mainland.
It was a little chilly out there on the ferry!
Mom and Dad came with us back to Portland. They were thrilled.
We had a nice visit before they headed back to San Antonio. Lots of snuggle time.
Their last day: my attempts to catch them on camera all looking at me, all smiling, worked after about two dozen tries!
