Enjoying the great outdoors

We love living in the Great Northwest, and we really got to take advantage of it this summer. We started off the season with a trip to the tulip festival.

Of course the mud puddles were as interesting as the flowers...

We spent time in the mountains.

went camping,

played at all sorts of parks,

went to parties,

picnicked,

and even learned how to live off the land (well, if your surrounded by blackberry bushes, that is...)

Enjoing simple pleasures of life...

Our girls love animals.
