Happy Holidays!


Snoqualmie Pass, December 18th, 2005

This year we enjoyed parties, playing at local parks, school activities, and many outdoor adventures. All summed up, we enjoyed so many good times with friends and family and we'd like to thank you all!

We think this year was highlighted with a lot of outdoor experiences. We took a trip to the North Cascades in early February and visited the Skagit River Bald Eagle Festival. It was a wonderful spring and summer. We frolicked at local lakes, went tubing down the Tolt river, and discovered sea creatures during low tides on many Puget Sound beaches. We went camping 5 times this summer hitting Lopez Island, Hood Canal, Larrabee State Park, Sol Duc Hot Springs (Olympic National Park), and an exciting rendezvous with the Runyan San Juan sailing trip where we were left off for the night on the remote shores of Stuart Island. We also fit in a trip to Sun River, Oregon in July where we thoroughly enjoyed lots of swimming, bicycling, hiking, and horseback riding.

After a wonderful fall season, now we are looking forward to more play in the snow this winter as we have been blessed with early snow fall in the mountains. (Update: a recent change in the weather, prompted us for an alternative excursion.)

God bless you all,
