A Walk-A-Bout

It's been a busy summer. We have found ourselves in many places recently. The end of June, Geniel, Debbie, and I went for a long walk-a-bout. We spent a Saturday morning walking/running a half marathon in Sun River, OR. Weez have braggin' rights now..... A feeling of "wow...we did it!!" And survived :) Thanks Debbie & Geniel for letting me talk you into this. It was fun. We spent a great weekend with Ken & Dorothy at the infamous property of LaPine. Awesome place...we even celebrated Max's third birthday out camping. I went with Ken & Dorothy and hiked in to see their Sparks Lake camp site. Some day I'm going to join you on your community campout adventures. The weekend of the Independence Day celebration we made our way to see Mike and Nicole. Here they are up to their elbows making tasty hamburgers for a BBQ. They tried out their brand new Mini Weber. They were delish.

Here we are waiting for the fireworks in Idaho Falls. We've been waiting about 6 hours, but the wait was worth it. It was the first fireworks for a long time where our boys have not been on the Pyro crew. We had a 'blow by blow' (pun definantly intented) commentary from all of them as the show played out. Other that one sideways blow out, the show was amazing, we had a great view safely across the river.

Back in Tacoma (after the trip to LaPine) I had an extra day to play with the boys. We went for a walk in Titlow Park. Max traveling by bike, Ryan glidding along in his stoller.

We discovered the big play thingy and stop for a climb and a slide.

Later back home...... Max in his red car off to the 'store to get eggs'. Later gater.
