Updates to the blog

So I realize it may seem a bit crazy and all over the place here, with the changing looks to the blog and the different sizes and formats of the photos. Personally, I LOVE the large images. I realize it takes longer to scroll down the page through them, but I love how they look. Love it. But am a bit worried that some people may have slower connections and have a hard time with the page loading. Feel free to leave comments and feedback, but be gentle:)

I hope everyone enjoys the updates. I am better at posting photos than write ups, maybe someday I will have more time to write more, as I do truly enjoy writing. Until then, enjoy what is here!

Mount Rainier!

Dan and I recently took a little trip to Mount Rainier. What an incredibly beautiful place! I am so incredibly thankful to live in a part of the world that has so much amazing beauty. So, all of you friends and family that are hesitating coming to visit for any reason- take a look at these and head on over!

First Day of School 2011!

I did not get any photos of the olders on their first day, darn it! But all of the kiddos had a great first day of school.

Going Ape!

OK, not really. But Dan and I went with his brother and his girls down to Mt St Helens to the Ape Caves there. Pretty nifty, but oh so dark and cold… Brrrrrrrrr… It is pitch black in the caves, so we had to have head lamps and flashlights to see, and even then you could only see a foot in front of you. And the cold? They claim it was 42 degrees in there, but my hands felt like they had been soaking in a bucket of ice by the time we left! It was still fun, though. The photo where we are shining the light is just a small part of the wall, looks funky with the camera flash. The big chunky circle thing in the ceiling of the cave was called The Meatball.

End of summer fun, Part 2…

I took the kids to the kangaroo farm, it was a rather roasty toasty day! Lots of fun, and we all had the chance to hold the baby roo! There were many other fun animals there as well.
