Father's Day Weekend Camping Trip

This weekend we ventured out of Seattle to escape the cold and rain. We managed to stay dry until the middle of the night on Saturday. Nora learned that she LOVES to play frisbee so Brian and I spent most of our time alternating as her throwing/catching partner. We enjoyed some yummy steaks and Nora helped me make a red wine reduction sauce over our "meth lab" stove (as we call our camping stove). All in all, we had a blast and had some great Daddy time!

Our Weekly Hike - Lakes Talapus and Olallie

This week our hike took us to an Alpine lake near Snoqualmie Pass. We hiked up to nearly 4000 ft and got to see snow and copious amount of mud on the way. The reward was having a picnic lunch by Olallie Lake and watching the ice melt in the 70 degree sun. Nora is a fabulous hiker and she always leads the way. She has become very proud of her ability to plan where her feet go on a muddy or wet trail. Go motor planning abilities! Check out the mud on her pants and hiking boots!

Preschool Graduation Celebration

'

What a fun final event at Nora's preschool. They put on a little production for us where they sang songs, were presented their 'diplomas', and read books. Nora and her best friend Karina were two of the four children that are able to read to the crowd. It was a very proud moment for Brian and I!
