Momma/Daughter Weekend up North

The last weekend in April Makenna & I took off up north for a Momma/Daughter weekend with our dear island friends.  We started the fun filled weekend with some whale watching, where many of friendships have developed. 



The girls, Makenna & Holden, settled right back into their friendship as if no time had passed between them- although in reality it had been many months.  Bonding over a picnic lunch is a great way to kick off any day.


It may appear to be a storage area, but for two creative little girls its the perfect cave for two bears!


They discovered the best spot to keep look-out for wildlife.  At this moment we are approaching Whidbey Island with gray whale #56 traveling along its shoreline.


My sweet little whale watcher.  She loved our 3 hour adventure aboard Momma's old "office".


Makenna was really impressed with Captain Michael!  So much so that she shared her snack with him- even fed him!  It was really cute.  At the end of the trip Captain Michael even surprised her with allowing her to drive the boat!

Whale watching with friends- not a better way to spend a Spring Saturday.


Reunited with Brookebird!

Oh my!  Three little ladies in one bathtub.  They had a wonderfully bubbly time getting clean!


On Sunday we found the tulips.  Our timing was perfect as the flowers were in their prime, as it was another late season due to the weather.  Makenna loved the purple ones claiming they smelt the best.

Me & my girl.  <3


Our sweet island friends- Holden, Julz, Iona & Michael

Thank you once again for having us up for a wonderful visit!


The VanQuickenborne girls sure know how to have FUN!  Makenna was in disbelief that they were actually playing in the mud, as she wasn't so sure about its texture & especially getting dirty.  It seems a lesson in mud pies will have to be in our future!  I love how exuberant both girls were in getting covered and especially when they were getting attention from other visitor to the tulip fields.  Love them!!  Thankfully Julz knows them well enough and was prepared with spare clothes & towels.  What would we do without moms?!
