Minnesconsin - Summer 2012

We had another great trip to Minnesota/Wisconsin!  Started off with a hike to Willow Falls.

Isaac wanted to go in the falls but was a little nervous so needed some assistance from Nate.

Air time (notice the look on my face - a *little* nervous) ..

Self-propelled air time

I took Isaac to Como Zoo to meet up with Tiffany, Anne and their kiddos.  I've known Tiffany and Anne since 1st grade (31 years and counting!!).  Some things never change ..

Isaac got to ride the cars all by himself!  He picked the purple car to match his new purple Vikings shirt. 

Time for silly daddy tricks!

Isaac LOVES Olivia

Happy Birthday to Me!  Isaac helped me blow out the candles.

Thanks again Mom & Dad - can't wait for our next trip!

Mt Baker Camping 2012

Lucky for us, we had a reservation at a campground at Mt Baker this past weekend and were able to escape the Seattle heat wave.  Our 3-story townhouse gets unbearable.  I had heard that people were still skiing at Artist's Point but figured some of the trails would be melted out.  Nope!  Still tons of snow - unbelievable for August. 

Isaac and Mt Rain-Baker as he calls it (all these big snowy volcanoes are confusing!)

We waved to Becky, Pete, Andy, & Mica who were on the summit (or had been a couple hours ago).

Isaac made his own snowballs and we played catch!

Look at all that snow! 

On Sunday, we did a short hike along the Nooksack River to a lovely little sandy beach.

The boys were hard at work making a boat which we then got to throw rocks at. ;)
