Notes from the Northwest: Aug 2, 2014
http://theganeys.blogspot.com/2014_08_02_archive.html
Notes from the Northwest. Saturday, August 2, 2014. We took the kids to the Thurston County Fair today. We walked to the shuttle, which turned out to be a school bus. Brenna was delighted with a chance to ride on it. Other favorites were LEGO displays, horses and a baby llama. I was surprised at how much Brenna enjoyed watching the horse and rider judging and that she wanted to pet the horses (twice). That being said, we purchased a new car last week. This decision was made following long hours looki...

Notes from the Northwest. Monday, November 3, 2014. We walked up to the local park to participate in the run. The kids had a good time and we enjoyed the lovely fall walk on the way there and back. Of course, we had to stop and play in the leaves :. We spend the rest of the afternoon playing together. Todd did some science experiments with the kids using the last of the dry ice from Halloween. Then we played a couple of board games. I love Sunday family time! Was time for bed. Brenna chose to sleep w...

Notes from the Northwest: Todd's birthday hike
http://theganeys.blogspot.com/2015/06/todds-birthday-hike.html
Notes from the Northwest. Wednesday, June 10, 2015. We celebrated Todd's birthday with a family hike to Narada Falls in Mt. Rainier National Park. We were fortunate to be joined by Janet and Denis. The kids loved hiking with their grandparents. I loved the chance for a quiet walk in the woods. Daideo and Aidan were trailblazers while Todd, Brenna and Yaya brought up the rear. This left plenty of room for me in the middle. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The JM and H Show. Let's back up and review yes...

Notes from the Northwest. Thursday, September 18, 2014. After babies, bubbles and books we had dome playground time before heading home. This morning she woke up to pumpkin waffles with blueberry sauce and her birthday gift before Dad and Aidan left for the day. Aidan was thrilled to give Brenna the stroller that he had helpled put together earlier in the week and hid in his closet. She called Grandma and Grandpa to tell them all about her new toy. Then home for lunch and a Madeline DVD. The JM and H Show.

Notes from the Northwest. Thursday, December 18, 2014. We had a welcome guest for the first weekend in December. Not only does Amy play games and read to kiddos, she is a champion Christmas decorator. She even inspired Todd to get into the spirit. We had fun getting the house ready for Christmas, baking ornaments and watching White Christmas. Together. I think we need to make this an annual event. Roasting chestnuts to try. With Grandma after dropping Amy off. Thank you once again to Amy Nielson. We all ...

Notes from the Northwest. Tuesday, August 12, 2014. We got the new car dirty this weekend with a camping trip to Lewis and Clark State Park and a brief exploration of Mt. St. Helens National Volcanic Monument. Saturday was spent in the Ape Caves and the south side of the monument. Next was our intended destination of Lava Canyon. The Canyon has been shaped and re-shaped by lava and mudflows. Some of the most interesting features were the columns formed by cooling lava. Brenna opted to leave the picture.
