Easysticks - by the Cain Sosnoff family

Posing on a trail to the high school

The kids’ selections gave our day surf and turf halves:

Landry suggested we visit another beach, so we went to Ruston

Crummy weather keeps the crowds down

Still a terrific experience

For one and all

Hazel wanted the whole family to go biking and scooting today, so we did

Here she is showing Supey how fast she can zoom

Scooterer turned cheerleader, using leaves for pompoms

Bike shop

Refueling station

Student of the brackish zone

Serious fellow beneath a tree

Doing the social distancing hustle… hurrying up to pull over

On the creature hunt

Driveway biking

Driveway observing

Creature creativity to the max

Each new ‘mon was assigned a type and a starting level too

Sometimes only reading is a suitable distraction from our worries (and, possibly relatedly(?), I have developed quite a grey streak in my hair!)

Almost got it…

There she is, riding behind me and giving aim instructions! (Shot behind my back as we were both on the move)

C is for cookie (we baked and frosted cats, hearts and leaves)

Presenting… Puget Sound! Still here, still home to many tidal creatures (Our last beach park trip was almost exactly two months ago)

The tide dragged in a large treasure since our last visit

Apocalypse? Really? You couldn’t make this stuff up!

Landry insisted

So here are our bedtime pics

The orchard park was mostly empty

With plenty of room to run

Could be one of ours!

NW Trek is offering tours of its free-roaming animal area from the safety of our own cars! We jumped on this once in a lifetime opportunity!

Hazel brought her own creatures in case we didn’t spot any outside

It was novel to need a lunchbox!

Off she drove….

An early spot

What else?

Look at the wonder!

Bison scofflaw! Clearly disregarding social distancing guidelines!

Happy kiddos!
