Ah, the county fair. It has been awhile since we have been to the Clark County Fair. Matter of fact, I think the last time I went with Levi was when we were dating. Last night I felt like a young girl, again. Except this time instead of walking around holding hands, all starry eyed […]

After hours of searching we finally found the famous(but never heard of by locals) gum wall. Named in the top 5 for germiest tourist attractions. A proud moment for Seattle, I’m sure. A scene for Jennifer Aniston’s film “Love Happens” was shot here in 2008 and in July twenty eleven the people of Windy Ridge […]
Mom, Tamason & Anna A daytrip to Seattle is a perfect way to spend a Saturday. We took the young people and drove 3 hours to the city. Taking little detours of cobblestone side streets as we missed exits. A couple loops around the block, narrowly missing panhandlers and we managed to park the beast […]
Striking a pose in front of the brick wall in Seattle. Misty, Landon & Rachael. Me, taking a little siesta. Tamason & Logan.
Then…. and now. I forced the kids to line up in the same order so that I could recreate the first photo from years ago. Yesterday we took a daytrip to Seattle with the young people. I have stories to tell and photos to show.
Photos from our day in Port Townsend & Fort Worden. First stop was the pharmacy to get emergency flip-flops because the children soaked their sneakers in the bay. Then we walked across the street to the Pizza Factory. They had a loud horn on the wall next to the door with a sign that read: […]
We spent 3 days on the pristine Quilcene bay. A wonderland of wonders: rope swings, climbing nets, seals, jellyfish, kayaking, hot-tubbing, exploring, guitar picking, bonfires, beach combing and so much more. A magical and muscle building walk to the beach. A good way to work off the good food. Baby’s favorite thing. The rope swings […]
At the last minute we hopped in the jalopy and drove 6 hours to the Farm Chicks Show in Spokane. Me, my 4 girls and 3 stinky teenage boys. Landon drove most of the way. I am a glutton for punishment, but I was determined to see what the Farm Chicks Show was all about and tempted […]
That time of year already. The boat has been scrubbed cleaned and now dons a fresh coat of antifouling bottom paint (and so does Levi’s head). Saturday morning we pulled the boat to Ilwaco. As soon as we got on the Astoria bridge, Levi’s eyes lit up and he began jubilantly praising God for creating […]
Last weekend found us exploring the coastline for potential homes. I don’t ask for much, just a historic home high above the tsunami hazard zone with an amazing view. Out in the country, but close to town. Of course the competition’s name is Windy Ridge so that is a challenge. I LOVE it here. As […]
