Jeff Summit's Rainier! (for the third time)

As you can see my mountain climbing husband is always ready for fun. Even at 14,411 feet, ice axe and all, he is ready for a good time! Gotta love it! So, Jeff jumped on the opportunity to guide three of his coworkers (one being his boss!) up the highest peak in Washington state. One gentleman Bern the IT guy at the office has a great story to tell. Just a couple of years ago he was close to 300lbs. For as long as he could remember he has looked at the picture of Mt Rainier in his home wishing he could stand at the summit. Well, one day he made the choice to change his lifestyle. He started eating right and exercising. He is now a trim 175lbs and Jeff helped him accomplish his life long dream of climbing this mountain. Isn't that cool?

Boating on Lake Sammamish

We are thrilled that Seattle summers are full of sun! We've been able to take our boat out by ourselves and with some great friends! Here Canyon and Brooke sport their trendy shades while we cruise around, ski, wakeboard and tube! We have to soak up every last ray before the rain comes again!

Twin Falls

I took the kids about 30 minutes East of Issaquah to a gem of a hike for kids called Twin Falls. We packed a lunch and hit the trail. We spent all day there exploring and seeing the beautiful Water Falls. We hiked about five hours and they were great hikers! I love spending lazy summer days with them!

Escape From the Rock

I did it! I survived the 1.5 mile swim through the San Fransisco Bay from Alcatraz! What an event it was! Pictured above is myself with my sister Christine in the middle and her friend Kim who swims with her on their Master's Swim Team in North Carolina. My time was 50 minutes which is great seeing how I was hoping to finish in a bit over an hour. Christine did it in 43 minutes. She rocks! Below, my sister and I pose in front of our swimming challenge. So, now I am done training for the summer. I have completed a Triathlon, Mt. Hood and this swim all in a months time and I am tired. It's time to play with my kids and enjoy some Seattle sun!
