Trip to Moms and rest of August

we went hiking at Bowl and Pitcher on one of the days the air wasn't so bad from the local forest fires



 sorry but we make adorable children











 the littles think they can hike right on ahead




 a love a girl who hikes in a summer dress
 he so has my heart!
 you can see the haze in the air. . .


 someone thought he was quite the big boy on the rock with cousin




-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 this pool was FREEZING and they just did not care!






 my Uncle Rook and his wife Karyn were up from California. he had the kids doing races all over the backyard. He's pretty much one of them.




















 my nana turns 89 next week. how bout that?











 ginger pear cake is AMAZING



 dad hanging with our lifelong neighbor and friend Brad
 gosh there is almost baby chub on those hands still












I don't know how to say this other than MY FAMILY ROCKS
there is nowhere else I'd rather be. Except maybe a beautiful beach with my husband and no kids. Maybe.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

we hung at the river and the kids found a crawdad and a baby fish



twinsie cousins




 perfecting his Sasquatch sashay




 it was just a gorgeous gorgeous time of day and spot on the river
 look how clear the water is








 fishy!
 again, obsessed with lighting and subject matter. can you imagine if I had an actual camera??
everyone has a little wannabe photographer in them






these are the kind of afternoons that I wish every person could experience. the poor, the hungry, the misplaced, the rich, the lonely, the war-torn, the joyful, everyone.
