Anacortes

With five more days to go before we can get into our house, the kids and I moved to yet another location to pass the time.  This time, we drove about 2 hours north to our good friends and former Oki neighbors, the Paynes.  Kelly, Mike and Dave had already entertained Stevie for a while during the time we were in Hilton Head, but now we got to visit.

We arrived around dinner time, but still managed to get in a little fun before bedtime.  Kelly and Mike just bought a camper trailer at a lake side resort just 10 minutes from their house so we drove over there for a little swimming (the kids, not me).

Now swimming doesn't sound out of the ordinary for an activity in mid-July, but this is northern Washington and it's cool.  Note Kelly's attire in the picture...

But that didn't stop the kids who stripped down, ran down the pier and jumped in! Crazy, crazy kids. I think they lost their breath for a second or two, but decided to stay in. Well, London quickly came to his senses and dried off, but the other three kept going.



Brave souls before they jumped in.

I finally had to drag the others out when their lips were blue and their whole bodies were shaking.  Again I say, crazy kids!  When we got back in the car, the temperature gauge read 57 degrees.  Crazy, crazy kids.
