Deception falls

On the way home from Chelan we stopped at a place called Deception Falls for a beautful scenic walk. Isaac loved getting out of his car seat to go for a walk and Craig and I love to find new beautiful places.

Chelan

We went to Chelan again over labor day weekend. We had a great time with our friend Jake and his parents. The guys spent some time shooting rifles but the highlight I think was shooting the potato gun which Jake is holding on the left. With the help of apples for ammo and Aqua Net hairspray for fuel several hours of the weekend were spent shooting this potato gun at various targets. The rest of the weekend we spent laughing, eating and relaxing while enjoying the fellowship of each other.

I think I am FULL!

We went blackberry picking and Isaac ate more than you would think possible for a child his size. There are even a few remnants on his chin. But I think his face says it all "I am FULL!"

His own John Deere!

Great Grandma got this John Deere tractor for his birthday and it is one of his favorites. If he is not riding it we often find him carrying it.

Evergreen State Fair

We went to the fair and had a great time. Isaac loved seeing all of the animals, kids, and milllions of other things that stimulate young children at the fair. He is quite the climber as you can see in the picture where he is climbing the cattle fence. Craig was right there but he wanted to do it by himself.
And anything that he can ride that has a steering wheel is quite fantastic in his eyes. He does have a genuine intrest in tractors though, just like his dad!

Seattle Center Trip

We took a trip to the Seattle center for Seafair ( a big summer festival here in Seattle). Before we took our seats on the parade route Craig and Isaac went to play in the big fountain at the Seattle Center. They didn't intend to get wet but they did a little. It was a hot day though so they dried off quick.
Isaac is getting big and LOVES to walk anytime he can.

Family camping trip!

So we took Isaac on his first camping trip. He loved it which is no surprise since he can't spend enough time outside normally. We packed our car and traveled about 1.5 hrs from our house to a small and quaint campground called Clear Creek. It was nice and quite with only a few other campsites. And there were rocks everywhere to Isaac's delight. We took a couple hikes while we were there. This first picture is all of us on a log suspended over Clear Creek.
This picture is quite a bit further up Clear Creek. It was no surprise to us that we had the place to ourselves because we had to do some serious bush wacking and creative maneuvers to get here. But it was well worth the work. It was beautiful and the picture doesn't even do it justice.
This picture is on the Sauk river right next to our campsite. It created a beautiful rushing river sound that we were able to drift off to sleep to. We had a great time camping and are hoping to do it again before the summer is over.
