We hiked at Mt. Rainier today. What a beautiful day to be outside! It was even warm enough to get a little wet in the mountain water.

Parents' Day Out

We biked to Smith Rock, an incredible area of rock formations that rivaled the Utah's canyons.


A hike and a scramble to the summit.



The view for lunch was worth it!


This one's for Grandma! Note the river far below.



Just in case you missed it in the picture above, Grandma!


On our way home (condo home). What will tomorrow bring?

Fun Times Without the Parents

After the games, pool, and bike rides, we still had time for silliness.
With all this fun, I was worn out by lunch.

And after naps there was more time for silliness as we helped Aunt Katy do her physical therapy exercises.


We are on Vacation!

We are on vacation in Central Oregon. We are having a great time biking and hiking.
We hiked to several waterfalls. Everyone was impressed that I (Evan) hiked several miles, and Nathan did great in the pack.
A well-deserved rest.


Bridge crossing.


Tumulo Falls


Aunt Katy and Uncle Joe at the bottom of the falls.

Overheard by Nathan

Evan asked Mommy how Jesus could walk on water. Mommy did a good job with her explanation and ended by telling Evan that we can do amazing things if we ask Jesus to help us. Evan answered, "I want Jesus to get me a computer."

We had such a nice visit with Aunt Mary, who came all the way out from Washington, DC, just to see us! Well, us and the rest of the family and to go on a fun road trip across the country with some friends. There was a little bit of seriousness...
... and some silliness. Well, anyone who knows Aunt Mary knows there was lots of silliness! We already miss her!

Crabs!! Oh, and the 4th of July.

4th of July weekend means the start of the crab season around here. We take that very seriously! Headed out to set the pots.



Checking out some freshly cooked crabs.
Cleaning the crabs. I'm an expert now, and can get the outer shell off without help!
Dad's fourth annual swim in from the bouy. Even in July, this is a polar plunge.
Helping Grandpa feed the birds.



Poor exposure, but a nice family picture on the ferry home.
