The Mac Kinnon Family

 Mac went to basketball camp last week and loved it.  It was a great skill building camp taught by a local high school coach.  We only got a few pictures but he's looking forward to playing ball again this fall!

The kids went to our church's "Superhero" VBS last week and had a blast!

Mac's found a new way to read.....

Saturday John took Jan and Nancy out with the kids to fish and crab.  They had a beautiful day on the water.  Caught a big salmon and some crabs and saw some canoes coming into the area for an event.  Both kids love being on the boat, it's such a special time for them!

Last week we celebrated my 40th birthday.  Everyone who knows me...knows I like to be low key for my birthday.  The kids did a great job making cards and John, Jan, and the kids made it a very special day for me.  I received some special treasures from all the family, I feel very blessed!

It was a beautiful ride, the weather could not have been better and it was so aw...

Emily and Grandma Jan watched an American Girl Doll movie last week which sparked Emily's interest in Maggie and Emma again.  So much so that while they were shopping they got matching outfits.  Grandma Jan has been a great sport and plays along with Emily and her dolls, making sure they get dressed, bathed and ready for the day!
