Family paddling on Hosmer lake in the cascades this afternoon.
Hunter, Noah and Abbie are doing Juniper Swim league this summer. It's fun to have the 3 of them doing it together. This morning they swam terrific! It is always so much fun watching them and cheering them on. Abbie was a bit nervous but she did great for her first swim meet.
Starting to look like a house on the inside now! Pictures in order: Front, back, south side, great room, kitchen area, master bedroom, bonus room, stair landing area.
Preston has mastered riding a two wheel bike. No more riding behind mommy and daddy on their bike. He will now be able to join us on his own bike on family bike rides.
After our Todd Lake hike we headed down the road a couple miles to Sparks Lake. A very canoe/kayak/paddle board friendly lake that is too shallow for boats and really isn't a fishing lake. The lack of motors and the views make it a great place to go. Kelly and I did a moonlight canoe trip with friends here a couple summers ago.
Once we got the canoe off the suburban, we hopped in the canoe and went across the lake to have a late picnic lunch on the north shore. We played there for a little while before heading back across.

First of two posts for a dual Father's Day outing in the Cascades. First time up to the Cascade lakes this year. There is still a decent amount of snow lying around given that it's late June. In the late morning we did a hike around Todd Lake. Kids loved sliding on the snow but the ground was a little soggy in places which made for some wet shoes. At the far end of the lake Kevin went up to the top of the ridge with Hunter and Noah for some amazing views of the lakes and surrounding mountains.
Last day of school for the kids. Hunter - 4th grade Noah - 2nd grade Abbie - 1st grade Preston - pre-school

Abbie received the character trait award for "perseverence" at school at the last assembly. We are so proud of our girl. She had a fantastic year!
The kids competed in another track meet. They were nervous but they did great and had fun trying different events.
Someone had a good birthday!
Here's to another great year.
We love you!
