OK, Finally getting around to posting from our Guemes Island trip. We rented a house on the north end of Guemes Island in the San Juans. At the last minute Elicia and Ryan could not go, so Drew, Kate and Ben joined us for the first night. Matthew had a blast with Ben, Poppi, and all the attention.
This table had a little handle on the drawer that was loose. Matt spent a good portion of the weekend trying to free it.
Check out Ben's new hat!
Seconds before this picture, Ben said "Ride?" Can you guess how this is going to end?
Yep, tears. Bonk!
It was cold so the heater was running and the cabin got kind of dry. Giving us another great Ben moment.

On Friday we all headed out to the beach to play in the rocks (this is Washington, there's no sand). Everybody had a good time playing with the little crabs and walking on the beach.
Really? A snow suit?
We met some people on the beach who took a photo of all of us. I think Ben was done with the beach.
Drew and Kate had to leave, so on Saturday we tried to go to Friday Harbor, but we slept in and missed the ferry, so we went down to Deception Pass State park and Anacortes.
It was a little windy.
In Anacortes GranDan took Matt shopping in the Boating store. This looks safe.
Never leave the baby alone in a shopping basket with your new boating catalog.
Besides learning to crawl, this weekend was where he really got to using his first official "word". Ever since we started feeding him solids, we'd coax him into eating more by saying "It's Num-Num". Now when Matt starts to get hungry, what do we hear? "Num-num".
Back at the rental house we learned Matt LOVES grapes. Everytime we'd take a break between bites, "Num-num!"
Matthew and Poppi had a lot of fun together (well, fun for Matt).
"How do I get us out there?"

On Sunday we packed up and headed home. Matt got to drive a little waiting for the ferry. Note at the end how he's careful to check the mirror.

Until next time.

This was a great bunch of pictures--I especially liked how Matt went from crawling to driving! Next thing you know he will be flying!
That first video was great. Matthew and the dog are pretty even sized now. Could be some interesting matches...
