Favorite places

Perfect place for an epic battle with foam noodles!

A fun group to hang out with for the weekend.

More fun with foam noodles!

Badminton turned into pine cone flinging.

I'd love to see this view everyday.


This past weekend we were once again lucky enough to visit the Hood Canal. I think everyone should visit this gorgeous place at least one time. It is the ultimate in pristine, unspoiled outdoor beauty. And I love the fact that we were outside pretty much the entire weekend. Despite a forecast that called for rain, we were in sunshine and perfect temperatures all weekend.  Every year , Jim's office hold a weekend getaway for the families. As you can see in the photos, there's quite a little posse of boys in the 8-12 year age group. We tried our best to keep the foam noodle battles contained to our section of cottages. Fortunately, there's enough wide open space to run around outside. It was a wonderful way to spend a weekend!

A last bit of skiing for the season. 

Racing with friends in the 100 meters.

Sunday hike.

All that rain gives us 100 shades of green.

The best pizza in Portland.

Not what you expect when you get a call from school.

Fortunately Jim's office is just down the street!

My favorite photo bomb.
