The sun before the snow

We are enjoying the sun before the snow comes to stay for a few months.  Today we did a mini-hike with Isaac and Lodi up Armstrong trail.  To make it fun for Isaac he was on a leaf hunt.  He collected leafs and sticks in his bucket.  When we got home we did an art project with them.  A fun way for everyone to get outside on a Sunday afternoon!

Strong little guy

A "Walking Stick"

Oh No, A Bear! 

Art projects with the leaves and flowers we found.

And a weekend isn't complete without many visits to the park!  He's getting a lot better at climbing these ropes.

5 Years!

We celebrated our five-year wedding anniversary with a hike in the Uintas with the family:

Beautiful 12 mile hike (Isaac fell asleep in the backpack on the way back, after a short picnic lunch at the lake)

Lodi fetching sticks in the lake

 And, Sunday we had a play date with his daycare best friend, Haven.  We hear all the time about how Isaac "loves Haven" and that she is his "best friend".  It was the first time we got to see them interact, and they are so cute (and a little bit of trouble) together.

Hiking Mount Si with Lodi

We had a great hike today at Mount Si with Lodi. He kept us moving pretty quickly, up 4 miles and up 3,700 feet of elevation! We got some great views of Mt. Rainier, and it was just a beautiful day in Seattle overall. More photos on picassa.
