Cave family timer pic!
L-R: Momma, Supey, Landry, Hazel and Sword Fern

Lots to explore

From mountain to sea: it really was the most beautiful weather we could imagine

Bob is now a pencil holder… so meta!

Cool dude at the dentist (still, in fact, after all these years)

Playing Sticks in tiny chairs

The bus stop mamarazza strikes again

Landry reached 1000 lifetime Accelerated Reader points! This was YEARS in the making!

Hazel decorated the sailing outstation: “Opti” (for the kind of boat she and her teammates sail)

These parents attended their last youth soccer game of the season!

The kids biked in the sun

And there may have been a small amount of ice cream consumed

Bath time for boats

Golden foliage abounds

Mud bath

Stormy start

Go kiddos!

Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge is colorful at this time of year

And features some extraordinarily gorgeous toadstools

Landry was in charge of snacks (nary a single fungus in his assortment)

Sunday was a regatta day for Hazel!

The sky changed from gray to blue while she was on the water. Final standings after four races: 12th out of 30!

Back on the ranch: snowy pancakes

And diligent homeworker, getting ahead for the week

I might like the snapshot of a selfie in progress better than any selfie itself

The light on their faces? That’s sunlight reflected off glaciers!

THIS was the only bear we spotted. Quite growly! Also smiling. And pretty small. Shockingly Landry-like.

Space-tastic space out

Guess where we went?

Gasp! Where?

Gorgeous, crisp Mount Rainier!

Behind the scenes on the previous photo — who sees Landry trying to squeeze his way in?!

More behind the scenes

Orange fungus group pose

Bear Activity!

Through the seaweed donut

The setting! Stunning!

Bigger than ever on Twin Firs trail!

Bye bye via the family selfie
