Bye Bye Summer

It's time for an end-of-the-summer update.
Camping
Our last camping trip of the summer we went to Naches (of course) and found an awesome new campsite pretty close to the river.  I didn't take too many pictures this camping trip so here are the few that we took. 

Riding Jaime's bike around camp.
I think it's about time I get a bigger bike!

The Mustang
Jaime is constantly buying and selling cars..."cycling them through" as he calls it.  His newest addition is this 1966 Mustang.  It's definitely one of the nicest classics we've owned!  He had to sell his beloved Lexus and some other odds and ends to pick this up but I'm sure glad he did.  It's been a fun car to cruise around in.


We bought the Mustang in West Seattle on that ONE night that it was dumping rain all evening long.  Thankfully the drive back to Black Diamond was going smoothly because I was pretty worried about driving a car that hasn't been driven in a long time for that long of a distance.  I was about 1/2 mile ahead of Jaime in the truck and he called to tell me he had a flat tire.  We were only 2 miles from our house!! We almost made it!  Turns out the rear tires are pieces of crap and this tire blew out in like 10 different spots.  Our nice neighbor let us borrow a spare and we changed it and got it home.


The next day, we took it for a spin after putting a brand new rear tire on and we didn't get more than 2 miles from our house and the OTHER rear tire blew out!  I was surprised, but Jaime was pretty much certain it was going to happen and got it changed out in like 3 minutes.  Stupid shiesty foreign tires. 


Of course I had to take it for a spin.

I love driving old cars

Boeing Company Picnic
Our family went to North Bend to attend Boeing's company picnic....and boy, do they know how to picnic!  There was tons and tons of free food including unlimited ribs, burgers, ice cream, sodas, chicken, and many others I can't remember right now.  There was also a car show and many other activities for kids and adults.  Plus the weather was perfect! It was a great day.
Leave it to Jaime to find a bike to ride around
He was probably the only guy doing tricks on this thing. I wish I would've got a picture of his bunny hop. Haha

It was pretty hot that day, so once we all ate our fill of unlimited food, we packed up and headed out towards the Middle Fork River to cool off.

 Andra's Baby Shower
Bon and I had been planning Andra's baby shower for a couple months and the day came quickly!  But we were ready and excited to spoil this little boy she's been carrying around.
Bon made this amazing (and perfect) cake. It tasted really good too.
Opening presents
Presents!
We happened to have a watermelon so I thought we'd take a "twin" picture. 
That's all for now. I've got much more but that's all I've got time for!
