Wild in Washington

If you know anything about my parents you know they aren’t really wild in any way, but it makes for a good title.  After our reunion on Whidbey we headed down to Olympia to see my parents.

The boys lived their dream and slept in a tent in the backyard all week.  One night we even roasted marshmallows and made smores!

Smores a’ la grill.  Yeah, pretty pathetic I know, but it was so much easier than camping!

If you don’t look too closely at the fence in the background, it almost looks like we are really camping.  But then you see that my mom is in the picture and you know we couldn’t possibly be camping.  Winking smile

Liberty was a dainty little smore eater.  She got NO food on her clothes and hardly any on her face.  Grandpa made more of a mess than Libby.

Our belated anniversary date.  It is next to impossible to get a serious picture of this man.  But, I think he’s better looking now than the day we were married so I put up with the goofy.

We went for a hike at one of my favorite places on earth, Staircase at Lake Cushman.

We love Washington…for visiting.  It is gorgeous for three months out of the year.  No, it’s gorgeous twelve months out of the year, but only dry for three.  Whenever I’m there in the summer I almost feel bad we moved and then I remember the February it rained for 28 days straight and I don’t feel bad any more. 

Thanks for a great trip Mom and Dad!
