Hillcrest Pool with Catherine/Stella/John/Mary

The lazy river was awesome. Fitch and Alaska were excellent swimmers! Glad we had company or I would have been crazy to take two at this age by myself. A fabulous new building and facilities, we will go again soon!

Great Grandfather Aubrey's Humpty Dumpty Light

Our nuppy! I love this image!

Superhero showdown!

wow, this was a night that the fair at heart stayed home to make room for some real crime fighting...the showdown of the century was not a place for those that can't handle some rockem' sockem' action.

'spiderman' and 'superbad dad' 

'spiderman' wastes no time or muscles to hurl boulders at 'superbad dad' 

after hours of battle 'superbad dad' musters the last of his super strength to overtake 'spiderman'... 

...but in the end 'superbad dad' is brought down by a crushing nose grab 

yeah, thats the way it goes around here...takin' care of business with our bare hands



here is a video of some of the the super action...


what a night

Playdate with Catherine, Stella, Mary and John

We were meeting Catherine, Stella and Catherine's parents Mary and John at Cypress where the totem is for a beach walk. It was a beautiful day and a perfect time for pictures!

don't eat the flowers Alaska!

Fitch spotted a plane.

A lot of sand went into Alaska's mouth today, Fitch and Stella had a fun time in the sand. Catherine's baby belly is just starting to show!! 

peek-a-boo is Alaska's favorite 

Southlands Fair Fun!

Fitch was pretending to be a bird in a nest at the hay pile.

Weee!

Fun on the swing! Such a cute picture. We had a fun afternoon at Triangle Park (Blanca and 2nd). Allison had joined the family there after attending Coram's (Joash and Matthea's new baby) baby shower.

We trekked down to southern washington state (where lincoln grew up) to pick up the Landis #1.

we camped at the beautiful lewis river rv park and country store...doesn't look like much but the people are great and this stretch of the river is amazing.
