This past weekend was so much fun.
I babysat all day Friday and when I got home my niece Jaclyn and her husband (my nephew) Jeff were there. I hadn’t seen them since 2014 – Jeff flies helicopters in the Army up in Alaska and they aren’t able to make it down to Seattle very often – so when Jeff was sent down here for training for a few days we jumped at the chance to spend some time with them. They stayed with us Friday and Saturday, and we were joined by our grand kids Finley and Camden on Saturday night for a stay over so we had a full and happy house.
The rest of the gang showed up on Sunday for a taco lunch while our dog was swooning in ecstasy with all the people paying attention to her and all the plates to lick.
On Saturday, Jaclyn and Jeff, who are experienced hikers, joined me for a short (about 4 miles) but very steep hike up to J’s Landing. We were pretty dry on the way up but as we were sitting on the landing, enjoying the view, the clouds rolled in (see above – 10 minutes earlier the clouds were in the distance so they were moving pretty fast) and we got pretty wet on the way down.
Still plenty of fun and I hope we can do it again, without waiting another four years.
We had fun too! Next time we’ll have to set up the camera on timer so we can all be in it together.
