Biking adventure

Last weekend we went out for an end-of summer bike ride, starting in Carnation and biking 11.5 miles to Duvall. It was a really pretty ride on a multi-use trail and meanders through farm files and over a few rivers. We stopped for some ice cream in Duvall where I tried licorice ice cream for the first time!

We did not time our outing right though because we got caught in a downpour and had to cycle the whole 11.5 miles back to the car in the rain. The girls were super troopers though and there was not much complaining at all. I was really impressed especially with Nora because we were cycling fairly quickly to try to get out of the rain and the way back was slightly uphill the entire way. She had to pump those little legs quite a bit. She did great, but she work up that night crying because she said her body hurt so much, poor thing!

It was quite an adventure that we'll remember for years to come!

Happy new year!!

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

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 ...

Skateboarding

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.
