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?!

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

Smiling soccer guy

Star soccer sister

Suited up for sailing (yay) but lukewarm about the photo op

Rainiest soccer practice yet!

We visited the colorful Washington State Fair on Saturday morning!

Hazey and Supey rode this old fashioned wooden coaster. They are right there in the front seats, just visible on maximum zoom

Fairly frightened (hee, get it?) = cuddly!

Homestate dabber extraordinaire

Fairside family selfie

Hazel has been building beautiful domino creations lately

Boom!
