Heatwave!

By
Summer has finally arrived and we are trying to find ways to stay cool. While Scott went up to Orcas to do some last minute fixes on the house, the girls and I went in search of someplace to splash around. 

On Saturday, we went to Gold Creek Pond. The last time we were here, it was snowing like crazy. Without the snow, the water as clear and beautiful. We did not walk around the lake though because the kids wanted to go wading in the creek that comes off the lake. The water was numbingly cold, but they had so much fun walking around in the water. 

Beautiful clear water

So cute that they are holding hands!

Clear waters!

Even though there weren't people around, we were good about having masks on.

On Sunday, we ended up a Chism Beach park to play around in the lake and build some sand structures. Nora wanted her legs to be covered with sand, and then one thing led to another and we started to build a car around her. It was a lot of fun, but also super hot.

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.

Eating on the road

By
With all the COVID restrictions on restaurants and Scott not liking takeout service, we've gotten pretty good at planning meals for days we are out and about. We've basically taken to tailgating... a lot! It is nice though that it means having a hot meal to warm up after a day of playing in the snow and I'm not going to lie - it is also a good excuse to eat instant noodles because it is fast and easy and warming!   For overnight stays, we end up doing instant pot meals like one-pot spaghetti or chili, or easy meals like a cheese plate or sandwiches. It does save on $ so that's definitely nice but man, I can't wait to go out to restaurants again! Beef and barley soup lunch at Mt Baker. Chillin' with Chili at Crystal Mountain. Beautiful but cold picnic in Wenatchee Little girl loving her hot ramen over Blewitt Pass Jook after sledding at Crystale Springs Chicken Noodle Soup in the snow at Salmon Ridge. Pho bowls under the ferry awning at Diablo Lake.

Glass art

We picked up our finished creations from the glass blowing class we took a few weeks ago and I think they came out great! Can you tell who made which one? Nora's sunset pumpkin, May's bluebird and Evie's snow pumpkin.
