Silver Falls Camping

North of Wenatchee, WA on the Entiat River. Beautiful scenery and wildlife, too many mosquitos. Landscape reminds me a lot of Virginia. The nutcracker museum is in the town of Leavenworth. It is a Bavarian themed town in the mountains not too far from where we camped.

Mt. Rainier Camping

We went camping to Mt. Rainier National Park, Ohanapecosh Campground. Very scenic, the Ohanapecosh river is all glacial runoff. Nearby is the Grove of the Patriarchs, with thousand year old trees (Firs, Cedars, and Western Hemlocks).

Jared's Birthday

Jared turned 9 last week and we had his party at the aquatic center. Here are a few pics.

Layklynn's Dance Recital

Laykynn Turns 6

Layklynn had her 6th birthday that she has been sooooo excited about and has been talking about for months. She and her friends had a good time. The party was at Paw Buddies where they stuffed their own animals and got to take them home with them, complete with birth certificate. It was a fun time.

We planted some fruit trees in our backyard last year and are getting some pretty blossoms off them. Pink blossoms are from the Nectarine trees, white are from the cherry trees. The apple trees haven't blossomed yet so I didn't take any pics of them. Hopefully we'll get a little fruit this year too.

Layklynn's Dance Practice

Here is Layklynn practicing her routine. The song is Putting on the Ritz. Layklynn is the middle one in black tights.

Easter Fun

More Seattle pics

Can you believe it? We ran into our friends from Lynchburg, The Mazurkiewics while we were in Seattle. Here are some pics of the kids together and various pics of us running to touch the fountain and not get wet.

Seattle Pics

Spent a few days in Seattle. Saw Monsters vs Aliens in 3D IMAX and spent some time at the fish market and the science center. Ran into some friends, got to hold some snakes, see the butterfly house, do some geo-caching, and more fun.
