We are a busy family, with four active children, two crazy muts and a need to explore the world around us.

Family reunion
Riverside park hike!
We spent Memorial Weekend in Spokane at a family reunion for Scotty's side of the family. We had a blast and I will post more on that in a different post. But on Sunday we went and did a hike in the area. It was absolutely gorgeous!! The river was going full force and it was like 90 degrees. We hiked down at Riverside State park. The kids did great even though we made the mistake of letting them wear their crocks so we had to cut the hike short.
But at the end of the hike there was a huge rock and the kids had fun posing with it.

Mother's Day
Happy Mother's Day all!!! I had a wonderful day. I was allowed to sleep in(a rarety) and then was served breakfast in bed to the tune of Happy Mother's day(ie happy birthday with a few word corrections.) Then we made backpack hiking survival bags and set out to go on our hike. We went to Point Defiance park and ate lunch on the beach. It was beautiful and we got to watch 2 seals play. Then we hit the trail.
We weren't able to locate a map of the trails so we used Scotty's trusty compass and wove our way around the peninsula. Well we wound around further than we thought. We ended up doing a 5 mile hike when all was said and done.
Neatless to say we are all a bit pooped but everyone of us carried our own backpacks and made it to the end, our kids are much tougher than I give them credit for,especially the two youngest. Well anyway, I hope you all had a wonderful mother's day!!
