Friends come to visit.


Last weekend, Gabe's old college friend, Mike, his wife Blair, and their three kids came to visit. It was such a beautiful weekend, so we took them down to the Skagit Valley and enjoyed some late summer fun. First, we stopped at Snowgoose Produce for some obscenely large ice cream cones (the adults did our part by "cleaning up the drips"). Here Liam, Elinor (6) and Ruth (3) enjoy their waffle cones.

"You think you are going to clean up my drips, Mama? No way!"

Liam and Elinor head out to Craft Island.


After our bellies were full of ice cream, we all hiked out to Craft Island in the late afternoon sun. Craft Island is very close to where our parent's live in Mount Vernon. It is one of our favorite hikes, through the wetlands our to the salt water. I have been hiking out there since high school and it still is one of the prettiest spots I know.

That looks gorgeous. You should frame the one of Liam and friend running out in the wetlands!
