1st Football Game
1st Days of School
Even though I have lots of great pictures I could post of the rest of our summer, including trips to Mt. Rainier and Camano Island, I'm going to skip ahead and post a few pictures of the first days of school.

Birthday Month?
Even though we weren't able to see Alan and Nathan on their 12th birthday (they were having a great time at Cadet Camp), we still had many opportunities to celebrate!
The first celebration was with Beppe and Pake on July 21, after A & N's last soccer game. The second celebration was on July 30 with a few of their friends from the neighborhood.

DeJong Family Reunion
We went to a huge De Jong family reunion in July. There were about 426 people in attendance. Here's a view of the tent where we met: Saturday afternoon we went into downtown Lynden to enjoy the Raspberry Festival.
Hannah had a great time at the reunion with her second cousin Hannah. My Hannah is wearing a nametag--it's Purple for Pete (my great-grandfather), and has 5 sides because she is the fifth generation. I thought this system was very clever! George's descendants wore green, Baaye's wore blue, Teake's wore teal, etc. and my nametag was square because I am of the 4th generation.

More summer pictures
Nathan was happy to win our first game of Lord of the Rings Risk.We had a great 4th of July. Here's Roger finishing Dollars for Scholars 5k in Tumwater.
After the race, we watched the annual parade. If you missed it, I think Nathan took a picture of almost everything in it, so you can see it on our computer! Hannah loved it all, but here's her favorite:
Later we went to a party with friends and family and were treated to a feast of crab, clams, salmon, steak, ribs, chicken, hamburgers, hot dogs, corn, beans, watermelon, and lots of salads. We had never seen such a spread! Hannah had fun with her cousin Kylan and Kylan's cousin!
This is how Hannah and her friend chose to watch the fireworks, when they weren't hiding in the fort they made:
