Daniel's Days

I love my boy! Dan at Rasar State Park, on the library walking tour, on the Skagit river, on his (my!) bike, climbing at Larrabee State Park,  roasting marshmallows at Arch Cape in Oregon, yurting at River Meadows, swimming with Dad in the Stilly, viewing Browns Point lighthouse and perusing the stacks at Federal Way library.

Fall Camping

The weather hasn't been this nice in 65 years, they say! Lucky us! Back in June I reserved a cabin at a nearby state park not knowing what awesome weather we'd have! We biked and walked and played and ate and walked on rivers and Puget Sound beaches.

Funny thing about this trip is that I had our reservations wrong! We showed up a day early! That was interesting!

Fantastic trip!

Sarah's September

Just a few random shots I took this month, Sarah loves to build, I see several projects here (the Cheerio House she made for her cousin Jada,  rocket (made out of bottles) for Ugly Kitty, the angel wings for Ode, the swing made from a hanger and box lid). Right now she is in the garage pounding nails into a piece of wood. She wants to make a fort in the backyard...pallet fort maybe.

Literature For Lunch-The Bridge to Never Land by Dave Barry & Ridley Pearon

We decided to read this one since Jim Dale doesn't narrate the audiobook. Fantastic, devoured it! "The Bridge to Never Land" by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson.
