Sweet # 9

On July 29th, 2014 we celebrated our ninth wedding anniversary.  It was a beautiful late July day just like 9 years ago so we decided to take our normal hike down to Alki beach via Schmitz Park and hang out at the beach and eat dinner at Pegasus.  
While at the beach we tried to recreate one of my favorite wedding photos:
OK, this first one we didn't try to recreate because there is too much calm to recreate this with two kids.  But I do really like this one as we look out calmly wondering what our life together will be like.  I can honestly say that it was been filled with more joy and laughter than we knew possible.

 This is the one we were trying to recreate as a family.

Lots of tries and laughter and never really captured it but had fun trying.

 On this one we nearly maimed the kids as we swung them directly into each other...

And what is a trip to Alki without dipping your toes in the water.  We certainly take this beautiful beach for granted having it right in our backyard. 

The day after our anniversary we headed to Ephesus for dinner.  Thanks to Mom and Dad for a anniversary gift certificate. Happy 9th, Marty.  Here's to many, many more fun years together.
