Mother's Day Hike

By
The weather was beautiful on Orcas Island last weekend so for Mother's day, I lazied around in the morning and then we all went for a hike around Mountain Lake. It's the first time we've done the whole thing (3.9 mile loop) and it took us a lot longer than we anticipated! We had lots of fun but we did not bring nearly enough snacks and treats to keep the girls energies up so it was a pretty successful trip considering there was minimal crying, whining or piggy back rides. 


Prepared in case we meet other hikers on the trail. We probably saw about ~10 people total.

The scarf has a lot of uses. This is her happy face before we set out on our hike.

This is about halfway through. She brought 3 marshmallows that she took her time savoring.

Pit stop to rest. Nora dipper her feet in the cold cold water.

A hiking we will go!

My reward for our long hike!

Happy new year!!

By
Goodness, it's already 2025! It's been a really long time since we posted!  We had a very lazy new year. We flew back from LA on the evening of the 31st so spent the last remaining hours of 2024 cozying up on the couch and then fell asleep before it even hit midnight! On New Years day, we slept in, cleaned up the house and then did a quick hike the next day. All in all, a good start to the year! Nora's new blanket hoodie. Cold and muddy trails. We're not in LA anymore! We hiked the Primrose trail that follows Coal Creek.

Ski weekend in Leavenworth

By
We had made plans many moons ago to take the MLK weekend for a short getaway to the Leavenworth area. We've been a few times in years past and it's always a fun place to visit especially in the wintertime. But this year, with COVID and all, we weren't sure whether we wanted to go but I'm super happy that we went. We had a blast and was able to keep safe by keeping to ourselves! First up, we left bright and early so that we can pack in a snowshoe/winter hike on the drive over. The last time we went , we had stopped for some snowshoeing on the way back and it was epic! Unfortunately, this time the snow was old and not nearly as soft and fluffy so while it was a nice diversion with some pretty views, it wasn't as great as we had hoped. The fun part though, was that we brought our camping stove with us so we did some tailgating in the parking lot and had a fancy ramen meal for lunch. It was super nice to warm the belly with the yummy noodles and broth! That evening, we ...

Evie got a skateboard recently so our usual scoot and bike nights now also include her skateboarding. Here's a short video of her, Scott and Nora rolling down the street.
