A couple days after I got home from Cali, I went up to Washington for 9 days. It was super fun. I flew up there on July 10th and spent the day in North Bend with my Dad and his girlfriend. Then on the 11th (Saturday) we left for the annual Orcas Island trip. We go up there the Saturday after the 4th of July for a week with all our friends from Washington. Its rad we have this row of cabins right on the beach so its our our little area. My family has only gone for a few years so we usually get a cabin up on the hill and this year we rented the "Farm House", it was sick, it had like 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a full kitchen, eating area and living room, it was literary a house. It could sleep like 9 people because it had a couch and futon to. But next year we are finally getting a cabin in the row so instead of having the last 5 cabins in the row of cabins on the beach we'll have six, that's out of 12 cabins so we basically have taken over half of the row of cabins haha. We have a bunch of people in the group, some of us take up boats to go fishing in and just to cruise in and that's always fun. When we aren't out on the boats we are rather playing cards, at the lake, in town or just chillin, its super fun. This year we didn't go out on the boat has much because Bill's boat broke down twice and his boat is usually the one we take out, but we got to take it out twice so it was fun. We went to the lake a couple times to go cliff jumping, the cliffs and tree's where we jump from are across the lake we walk about 3/4 of a mile to get to them, one time Nicole, Sean and I decided to swim across, its probably half mile to 3/4 of a mile, I didn't enjoy swimming across it but it was fun and a good work out I guess haha. We went to town a lot to, we went almost every day and got gelato and stuff from the store. We played a lot of Volleyball as well. But probably one of my favorite things about Orcas is the dinners, we eat a grip of food, its sick, we eat good to, after eating like we do for a week, you don't wanna stop. Another favorite thing is chillin by the fire at night, we eat dinner around 9 because the sun doesn't go down till then, so usually right after dinner we'll get a fire going right off the beach and just hang out for hours, talking about random stuff, watching the stars, making smores, we won't go to bed until like 12 or 1, its rad. So the week rolled by pretty fast, the 18th came around and we took the ferry back to main land and that night I was back on a plane to AZ, I was bummed, I love Washington.
Here are some photos from my trip-

I've been home for a about 2 weeks now. I've been skating a lot, trying to enjoy the last of my summer because I start school August 10th, 11 days away, I'm bummed but excited for my Senior year. Stevie came back from Cali so its been fun skating and hanging out with him, July 28th was his and Britt's birthday so we went to Peter Piper, Pecos and bowling for they're birthdays, it was fun. I've shot a couple skate photos since I've been home, check them out..
