Thanks to my friend Dana I have this following (favorite) photo of Jay:
Playing in and near the water in the afternoons was a favorite activity.
A Canadian hovercraft came cruising through Saratoga Passage (we think for the Seattle Seafair festivities). It was such fun to see it cruise in and then back up to Canada later that same day.
It is hard to tell from this picture, but the Victoria Clipper was also seen going to and from Canada from Seattle through Saratoga Passage.
There were approximately 16 families, so the vetran gal who organized the trip split us into two separate "teams" for dinners. Each team had two families assigned to cook dinner on a given night serving 8 families (about 30 people - about half kids, half adults). Prior to the trip we strategized with the other family what to cook, what food to bring, how to split costs, how to cook, etc. Since we had access to some electricity in our cabins we decided to use crockpots and served taco soup with chips, salsa, guacamole, cheese, and sour cream with fruit and cookies for dessert. It was nice to just "sit back and relax" on the other nights and enjoy the great food that was served.
Each evening after dinner a campfire was started and we enjoyed nightly smores together. M-m-m! 
Tuesday, August 2 most of the men left very early to make a 7:00 a.m. tee time for their "golf tournament." That left us ladies to "hold the fort down" with the kiddos. I ventured out of our cabin around 7:30 a.m. to take the boys to the beach. I captured these following photos of Jay and David exploring.
Later that morning some of the kids gathered around this table to enjoy some hands-on activities - building with Legos and coloring in coloring books.
Sarah and Jay - these two are such good friends and had so much fun playing together! (Sarah is just two weeks older than Jay.) Here are the two munchkins having fun sitting together in our camping chair on our back row cabin porch. 
After dinner Tuesday night the guys commenced with the award ceremony for the morning golf tournament. Matt was fortunate enough to win the trophy for the lowest/best golf score for this 1st annual golf tournament.
We had a great time enjoying terrific fellowship and making so many good memories. We're looking forward to a return trip with some of these same families in August 2012!!
To our pleasant surprise model hydroplane boat races were taking place on the park's pond, so we HAD to hang out there and watch those for a while. While watching the hydroplane boats, Matt's other sister Traci and her husband Keith and daughter Sydney (their other daughter Sam was at a friend's house for the day) joined us. We all walked from the park back to our little home for a bite of lunch. PopPop and Nana (Matt's Mom and Dad) arrived and it was a grand reunion as we celebrated Keith and Traci's return from living in Texas for 2-1/2 years.
